Not sure if that''s what the "Known Issues" is referring to. Are you looking for a fix for a specific problem? MRJ

The fix you are referencing fixed one of the problems with HVM PV drivers running on 3.1, but did not remove the check etc. That was done in b85. BTW, there are some more fixes around the PV driver package which should be going back to b86.. 6663334 pkgadd of SUNWxvmpv fails when live upgrading from snv_82 to snv_83 6666738 xnf and xpvd entries erroneously present in usr/src/uts/intel/os/name_to_major MRJ

Hi,
sorry for being slightly offtopic!
I''d like to ask, where the list of those changes (for example the
aforementioned ones) are available?
I mean something similar like what Derek puts in lately into his announcement
mails (see for example the last one about, b84; its Xorg, and the ON bits:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=54147&tstart=0)
I mean I regularly check the flag-days
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/), but I think it would be
good to have at least a simplified list (sort of a "quick-list") of
the changes/bug fixes that go into a build.
I know, I can find a few bits from the "xVM world" in the Nevada
changelog, but somehow I feel there''s a lot more stuff is being
added/corrected from build-by-build by the xVM team.
Even if only the bug ID''s were mentioned that would be nice :) - we
would know what to count on. (And remember, you ("internals" :)) are
at least two builds ahead of us, so the changelist would be "stabile")
Thanks for your great work, and support!
Attila
