Re: [Xen-users] Identical Win3K3 domU's. One panics dom0, other runs fine

I see you've reported this on xen-devel now.  That's probably the best place 
for it...

OK.

The Xen project has its on XenLinux based on 2.6.18.  This gets updated with 
new Xen code but obviously it's quite an old Linux version.  There's other 
work underway which will eventually make newer Xen-enabled Linuxes the 
official Xen project way of doing things.

Several distros maintain their own Xen kernel with the Xen-ification patches 
forward ported from 2.6.18 to whatever kernel version they're running.  As a 
result, Ubuntu maintain their own XenLinux patchset, which is different to 
upstream Xen.

To be honest, that situation is a bit of a mess, although it should improve in 
future.  This does introduce the possibility that a bug is in the 
forward-ported patches of the distro, rather than the upstream Xen project 
code, which is why I recommend you talk to your distributor directly as well 
as to xen-devel.

Sorry to not be much help, but I hope that clarifies the situation a bit!

Cheers,
Mark
