Thread-topic:	[Xen-users] Why Xen 3.4.2 use 2.6.18 kernel

I'm working to install Xen with Ubuntu 9.10 and noticed during the build Xen 3.4.2 uses the Linux 2.6.18 kernel. Why?

I would have expected it to be using a more recent kernel, and was just wondering why it's not.

For a complete answer to this question I would take a look at the following:

Video Interview with Jeremy Fitzhardinge on the merge of Xen Dom0 into latest Linux kernel - http://vimeo.com/6168143

Blog Posting on latest for Xen Dom0 and Linux kernel merge - http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2009/06/05/xenorg-and-linux-kernel-update/

Thanks.

Stephen Spector
