It depends :) Some xen-hosting providers only allow users to only use their kernel. If you're one of those hosting providers, then you'd want to compile everyting built-in. If you want to put kernel on dom0, you'd probably want to go this route. Some distro maintainers (e.g. Redhat) opt for almost-everyting-is-a-module. One of the reasons is to avoid wasting memory from unused drivers. If you want to user kernel on domU (loaded with pygrub), you'd probably want to go this route. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
