Thank a lot Volnei, I don't speak for the C7 project so this reply is unofficial. RH has disabled all dom0 kernel support found in mainline kernel. DomU support is mostly intact. I have a xen 4.4.0 dom0 on C7 since July 16, but using the kernel-ml (3.15) from elrepo.org Got my xen package set by rebuilding xen-4.4.0-8.fc22.src.rpm from here ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/x/ The Fedora developers are adapting xen to systemd rapidly, so the above SRPM can change weekly. If you or anyone else wants more detail, find PryMar56 on #xen on freenode IRC. cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Thank you Mark. I use F20 with Xen dom0 with much success. I wanted to start using CentOS instead of Fedora but apparently will take a little longer. You can't understand why RH does these things.

It added a lot of work for Red Hat, maintaining all the kernel patches. This was true for a lot of other programs as well. So to reduce their work load, they thinned down a lot for RHEL 6. They dropped everything they thought was a duplication of another project or which required too much effort for too few users. With KVM, Xen was effectively a duplication of a much simpler to use hypervisor, so it was dropped. No great conspiracy here; Just normal business decisions. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

I wrote up my experiences: https://www.bfccomputing.com/installing-centos-7-on-xen/ It's currently working really well as a DomU (Fedora 20 Xen 4.4 is the Dom0) - much faster than C6 on the same hardware. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Telephone: +1.855.SW.LIBRE Email, IM, VOIP: bill at bfccomputing.com VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf Social networks: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle
