In particular you *must* upgrade both your Domain 0 - kernel and your unprivileged domains ones with a xen-flavored version of - Linux 2.6.12. Instructions for how to do so are provided in the - README.Debian file, as they are useful for new users of Xen too. + This version does not longer ship the ioemu part, aka the patched qemu. + So it does not support + * full virtualized domains and + * virtual console support for paravirtualized domains. - Also please note that Xen 2.0.6 has a bug and before getting removed doesn''t - shutdown your domains. This, together with the fact that xen-utils for Xen - 3.0 is incompatible with the 2.0 hypervisor means that you won''t be able to - control your domains after upgrading, other than through the network. So - please shut them all down before upgrading to this packages. - - If you want to be really sure that nothing will go wrong please reboot into - a normal Linux system before upgrading, upgrade from there, build the new - kernels, and only then start your new Xen 3.0 system. - - On the good news side: Xen 3.0 is able to automatically baloon down your - Domain 0 to the value specified in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. For it to be - able to do so, just remove your "dom0_mem=" option from the xen kernel line in - your grub.conf, and also the "mem=" option from your linux module line. - - -- Guido Trotter <ultrotter at debian.org> Tue, 21 Feb 2006 09:07:26 +0100 + -- Bastian Blank <waldi at debian.org> Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:05:31 +0200
