Re: [Xen-users] Building Vanilla source 2.6.31.4 with XEN hypervisor

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <space.time.universe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You cannot use vanilla 2.6.31.4 kernel source for Xen as it only
supports pvops domU. You need to patch vanilla 2.6.31.4 kernel source
for dom0 functionality.

Alternatively, get the pvops dom0 kernel 2.6.31.4 from Jeremy's git tree.
