RE: [Pkg-xen-devel] [Xen-devel] xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64: Lenovo R61, kernel boots on baremetel, no boot with xen4 hypervisor‏

That's fantastic because it all just works!

Attached is my xm dmesg, dmesg, and xm info output.

I replaced the packages that were already installed with Ian Campbell (2.6.32-21+xen0), and the system just booted as expected with the additional Xen functionality.

So that being said, what are the chances for inclusion of this added KMS stuff in the official Debian xen kernel packages?

I can vouch on the fact that Ian Campbell's packages worked right away with no additional hacks.

I can/will test further naturally...

I think Bastian Blank, is the right person to be informing so I have CC'ed him as well.
