Hi!

 The Xen and the Linux 2.6.18.8-xen from http://xen.org is a rock solid.

 I REALLY do not understand why the Debian Xen Team just don't pack the Linux 2.6.18.8-xen from http://xen.org for Squeeze dom0, if there are no stable options available out there.

 What is the point in make a hard work to get a unstable system? As the Lenny (dom0) and the Hardy (dom0), for example?!? No one actually are using it!

 I never use in a production environment, the Xen packaged from some distribution. They always have a bug here and there... Then I am forced to manually compile Xen and Linux from xen.org and all my problems go away as magic!

 And if Debian Squeeze works seamlessly with the Xen and the Linux 2.6.18.8-xen, I believe that the maintainers of the Xen in the Debian SHOULD only pack the sources from xen.org WITHOUT any significant modifications. Of course, only when you want a dom0.

 Some will say that the Linux 2.8.18.8 is prehistoric but, then why not use the same kernel used in the project XCP, the kernel-2.6.27.42-0.1.1.xs0.1.1.737.1065.src.rpm for the Squeeze? It is stable too and much more recent than the 2.6.18!

Regards,
Thiago

i'm not sure, it rumours it will be a pv_ops kernel. But till now i've found
no definite information about that.

Another info about the kernel:
