Re: [Xen-users] Linux distributions supported by Xen as PVM domUs

[Grant McWilliams <grantmasterflash@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just about any 2.6 kernel and underlying OS can be run paravirtualized if you are a smart
enough kernel hacker.  I don't know of anyone who has done paravirtualization with linux host and freebsd or opensolaris domu's but
that doesn't mean it can't be done.

I'm running in a very limited environment here but correct me if I'm wrong but if you keep the DomU kernels in the DomU/s /boot directory and they're xen kernels (as well as the Dom0s kernel) then you can run any Xen aware OS in a PV DomU. So in my case I booted off a kernel in the Dom0 but insalled in a disk image so after rebooting I'm running off the guest kernel. In this way you could run any Xen aware OS because it's the xen bits in the DomU OS communicating with the xen bits in the Dom0 OS that's important.
