Some question. Can I install Xen-3.2.1 with 2.6.18-xen kernel... to my Dom0 and without HVM, starting a debian(DomU) with kernel 2.6.25 from kernel src and compiled with all XEN port / features ? or i need to use the vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen to all my DomU ??

That''s because the changes have not been ported to anything beyond 2.6.18. However, you might find that suitable patches/packages have been created by individual distributions. So for example: $ apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-18-xen gives me ''xenified'' linux sources on my Ubuntu 8.04. I don''t know if that''s good enough for you (you asked for Debian + 2.6.25, this is Ubuntu + 2.6.24), but it should get you started.

It''s not feature complete but it should be useable. (Last I checked save/restore and ballooning weren''t supported, but work in this area is continuing apace.)

Really nice. I try to use 2.6.5 with the domU support, and it´s working! The only thing that isnt working its the vnc. I think because 2.6.25-xen, doenst have frambuffer for xen support yet Its a task for 2.6.26 perhaps see in http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps ----------------------------- # eatures in 2.6.25: * x86-32 support * SMP * Console (hvc0) * Blockfront (xvdX) * Netfront # Queued for 2.6.26: * Balloon (contraction only) * paravirtual framebuffer + mouse (pvfb) * 2.6.26 onwards will be PAE-only ------------------------------------------------- "Ian Jackson" <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com> escreveu na mensagem news:18514.31853.524156.930331@mariner.uk.xensource.com...> Grzegorz Mi³o¶ writes ("Re: [Xen-devel] Xen and Kernel 2.6.25"): >> > Some question. >> > Can I install Xen-3.2.1 with 2.6.18-xen kernel... to my Dom0 >> > and without HVM, starting a debian(DomU) with kernel 2.6.25 from kernel >> > src >> > and compiled with all XEN port / features ? >> >> I don''t think you''ll be able to compile 2.6.25 DomU kernel from >> vanilla sources (= kernel.org + xenbits.xensource.com). > > Recent mainline kernels (including 2.6.25) have domU support.

Sorry, I was completly stuck in my little world cloned from xenbits :).

You can use a different kernel in each domU, it''s independent of dom0 kernel version.

You could clone Linus''s git tree, or download a tarball of 2.6.26-rc6 if you''d like to try this out.
