Re: [Xen-users] Xen 4.0 Custom kernels

[Net Warrior <netwarrior863@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pasi.

Did not know I could use the Vanila Kernel for DomU usage, I thought
it has to be patched somehow as well.. so good news, I'll try to
compile a custom one using the latest stable from kernel.org and leave
the Dom0 which is working as it is.

Thanks for your time and support
Regards
