NO, TRY FEDORA 8 / RAWHIDE WITH LASTED XEN 3.1I believe kernels compiled for xen 3.0.3 can run on xen 3.1. So if you use : - Xen 3.1 - RHEL5 as domU or dom0 - same 64-bit or 32-bit for Xen/dom0/domU then you can use RHEL kernels. When you need to run 32 bit domU on the above scenario, I'd prefer to use 64-bit RHEL kernel with 32 bit userland. Regards, Fajar I guess what I am really trying to get at is the following: What, if anything, of the Xen code base is built into the kernel rpms that redhat 5 and friends distribute as kernel-xen (for instance, kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5, just released to patch the vulnerability that started this thread). Is there anything that's version specific? Is there anything that ties it to xen 3.0.3? How can I look at the kernel config files and tell the difference, if necessary? I went and got the kernels from xensource that were compiled with xen 3.1.0 because people on this list told me that this was required to do what I wanted to do, namely 64bit dom0 plus 32bit PAE domU's. I understand that a xen 3.0.3-compiled kernel could be a domU in this setup but not a dom0. Is this understanding wrong?
