similar to: Bug#586772: ran into this today

Package: xen-utils-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-1 Severity: normal Due to license issues this version of Xen does not include the blktap2 backend (tapdisk2) and associated utilities (vhd-util, etc.). The decision was made to disable the blktap v1 kernel module (the default is now blktap2). As a result we can't use any tap devices which means worse performance than previousl. Since blktap1 was available

We have a great many VMs that are stuck on Lenny because of this. Probably can build it ourselves, but would prefer to avoid the maintenance nightmare. Please make this happen, as we really like Debian.

Hi there, It is my understanding that blktap2 has been removed from the built of xen-hypervisor-{i386|amd64} because of the OpenSSL licensing and its incompatibility with the GPL, but apparently it is possible to not use OpenSSL at all. What is your thoughts about this? Could blktap2 support be added? Should it be packaged separately and be sent to non-free? Thomas -------- Original Message

Just a reminder to everyone, we'll be having our bi-weekly meeting on IRC this week, #centos-devel, at 2pm BST. Feel free to e-mail any agenda items you'd like to have covered. One thing I'd like to discuss a bit this week is blktap2 -- at the moment we're using a 2-year-old snapshot of XenServer's blktap2 fork (aka "blktap2.5"). At some point the whole project

Dear Xen Team, lenny now includes xen 3.1 but it does not seem to include a dom0 kernel. I tried 2.6.23-1-xen from "deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/ debian-kernel trunk main" But that failed with: "Domain 0 requires an unsupported hypervisor feature". What can I do ? PS: I'am looking for a dom0 kernel that supports blktap PPS I'am doing my testing
