CentOS virt - Jul 2017 - New xen-4.6.6 rpms for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7

There are new xen-4.6.6 rpms for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 in the testing
repository on buildlogs.centos.org.

Can we please get some testing of these RPMs and feedback to this list.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Any testing or feedback on these 4.6.6 rpms?  It would suck if I was the
only tester and they don't work on other hardware AND they get into the
release stream.

I now have them on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 (Intel i915 video chipset)
with only 4GB of RAM, and they allowed me fire up all of my existing
CentOS6 VMs, (one or two at time: after all there's only 4GB of RAM
to share around!) without issue.

Better still, I have even been able to run X and use the VNC server
capability.

I also have the previous CentOS-virt-6.8 (xen-4.6.3-3) series on a
Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H with an AMD A8-6600K CPU (Integrated
Radeon HD 8570D), and that's been fine for ages now  but I am yet
to upgrade that to the virt-6.9 series.

Admittedly (very) old gear, but it (stiil) works for me,
Kevin

Sorry, I thought I had sent part of this info before on the xen 4.6.6
testing:
1. Testing shows a depreciated(?) config option that was allowed and now is
not:
Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: unsupported timer type
(name) 'rtc'
I ended up dumping the xml and removing the section:
   <clock offset='localtime'>
     <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/>
   </clock>
2. VM BIOS screen not showing. Screen only now shows after the default
kernel loads for me.

Thanks
PJ
