Hello,
I am running a 2.6.21 kernel with xen in dom0 and it has been
rock solid. What I did was build Xen 3.2 with the default kernel (to get all
the tools etc) then downloaded the mercurial source of a 2.6.21 kernel.
They can be found at http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel-dev/
i used the ehabkost/linux-2.6.21-xen-3.1.0 kernel and it has worked really
well.
When you are configuring the kernel ensure that you enable Xen
support (it is one of the options in the Processor Type and Features heading)
then scroll down to the bottom of the config subsections on the first page and
a new XEN heading will be available. Enable Hypervisor Support (or it is
something that will be similar I donât remember the exact wording).
I had to mess around with a few options before it started
working right, my kernel has all the RAID and LVM stuff built in (no modules)
and make sure that most SCSI stuff, USB controller stuff and AHCI is built in
as a module.
Let me know how it goes, you might need to throw a few extra options
while creating the ramdisk so if you run into problems... post emâ :)
Best of Luck,
Tait

Hi,
I need some features from 2.6.19+ in my Dom0 .. is this an impossible task for
the moment or does anyone have a stable kernel source tree more advanced thann
2.6.18.8 that I can access?
Ubuntu 2.6.22 is unstable .. pure source build 2.6.18.8 is great .. (with
Xen3.2)
What I'd like is to source build a 2.6.xx where xx > 18 ... can anyone point
me in the right direction ?
tia
Gareth.
