[ANNOUNCE] paravirt_ops i686 Fedora rawhide kernel packages
If you are interested in trying the new paravirt_ops kernels, I've created some packages and uploaded them to: http://et.redhat.com/~chrisw/paravirt_ops/ There you'll find a yum repo (see yum.README for details) and an INSTALL file for getting started. With this package you can use a single kernel[1] for both native (w/out a hypervisor, or under a full virt hypervisor), domU paravirt under Xen, and a VMI guest. There is no support for dom0 kernels ATM. Running the kernel native is as simple as installing and rebooting. However, it requires some manual intervention to get a domU started (see INSTALL for details). thanks, -chris [1] It's not quite a single kernel. It's two separate binaries built from the identical vmlinux. This is due to the Xen domain builder's inability to boot a bzImage format kernel binary. Fixing this is on the todo list.
