[Xen-users] Any Xen kernel based on something newer than 2.6.18 ?
Hello all, I''m trying to get my servers to work with Xen, but as I use sata2, it looks like only a recent kernel will do the job. But unferotunately, ony and official 2.6.8 is provided, which doesn''t boot at all on those machines. I''ve tried ubuntu''s 2.6.22-xen, but ti looks very buggy. Where could we find patches for 2.6.22/23 to add Xen? How could I gete a recent kernel with Xen? Thanks for any suggestion tht could help!

I''m guessing the ubuntu-xen kernel you''ve tried has come from the recent release (gutsy I think) of ubuntu. What were the bugs you were seeing in the ubuntu kernel? There''s always the enterprise distros worth looking at also. Both SLES 10 (2.6.16) and RHEL 5 (2.6.18) are based on older kernels but will incorporate a lot of fixes and drivers backported.

There is a huge thread about it : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-482731-highlight-.html and this is not related with xen but in linux >2.6.18 kernels in general. Something related to cfs scheduling. So for production Gentoo is useless for certain amd64 users on certain hardware at least while there will be available newer >=2.6.22 xen kernel sources. Redhat and Centos how to managed that they do not suffer from this issue. CFS patches? I tried to setup Fedora Core7 for my dom0, but it seems to me VERY unstable on my hardware. (several random network losses and even system crashes within 2 weeks). I installed Centos5 with older kernel 2.18 and older xen 3.0.x. My sata2 drives performs well and system is stable - this seems to be the only solution for production for me now. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Does this mean this is a 2.6.21 kernel patched to 2.6.23giti17? If yes can you provide me a download link for the patched tree in tar format? I don’t use a RPM distribution. Thanks!
