Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

["Robbie garrett" <rgarrett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

that's what i needed to know.

so how do i upgrade my kernel? The one that comes with Xen is 2.6.18-xen and 
that's from doing a make world.
since the kernel is older the one that came with my system (desbian 5.0) i 
would like to upgrade it.
doing a google search on the subject does not return much of how to upgrade 
a kernel from 2.6.18.
