Hello, I''m trying to prepare new kernel for Qubes OS. Which version should I use? The main goal is to use as new as possible kernel (for new hardware support) and pv_ops. Required functionality: - dom0 :) - netback - netfront - blkback - pciback Nice to see also pvusb-back. Same question for domU, but here I suppose that vanilla 2.6.39 will do the work. Required functionality: - netfront - netback (!) - pcifront - (optional) pvusb-front Is there any git tree containing all of above? Or maybe I should use some additional patches (from where?)? I guess that for dom0 the best choice is Konrad''s repo, branch linux-next, right? But there is no PCI backend driver and maybe more... For now, I use xen 4.0.1 as stable in Fedora 14. Is newer version required for some of above to work properly? -- Pozdrawiam / Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski | RLU #390519 marmarek at mimuw edu pl | xmpp:marmarek at staszic waw pl _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

So it netback in 2.6.39.> > > > I guess that for dom0 the best choice is Konrad''s repo, branch > > linux-next, right? But there is no PCI backend driver and maybe more...I stuck it in devel/next-2.6.3[8,9].> > > > > > For now, I use xen 4.0.1 as stable in Fedora 14.
