Hallo, I would like to use the Linux kernel 2.6.17.8 for Xen instead of the Linux kernel 2.6.16. I googled for this and I found that Fedora provides a Xen kernel 2.6.17. However, I tried to patch and to compile the kernel on my own, but I got several errors. I also checked out the latest version of Xen (xen-unstable) and it still seems to expect kernel 2.6.16 (since LINUX_VER in buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen is still set to 2.6.16). Is it possible to use the Linux kernel 2.6.17 instead of Linux kernel 2.6.16 for Xen yet? If so, besides the version number in buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen, what else do I have to change to make it work?

As Kernel code evolves between versions, it most probably won''t be enough to just change the version number, there will be minor or major kernel source hacking be involved in getting this accomplished. You might try using fedora, or at least the kernel they made.
