RE: [Xen-devel] debs for 2.0.7 and unstable

["James Harper" <james.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very good to hear, have you and Adam compared notes at all?

A patch would be very useful. Do you have plans to release a
kernel-patch?

How does your .config compare to the stock debian kernel .config's?
Which CPU target?

Thanks

James
