I have debian packages of xen just about done. I''m creating 10 debs,
containin the various parts of the library, tools, and kernels.
There are currently 2 things keeping me from uploading them to debian itself.
1) Tomorrow, after I Get to work, I''ll test booting our hardware with
the
kernel debs I''ve made. I''ve done custom compiles up until
now. I don''t
expect any hurdles.
2) The device nodes xen are block major 125. This is marked as
LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL use, in Documentation/devices.txt. Debian policy requires
me to file a bug on makedev, as this tool is what is supposed to create device
nodes. I am reluctant to do this, when they are using this number. Could
this be changed to something more official?
ps: I still have to write descriptions for all the debs, and make simple
manpages for the tools(the later is requied for debian policy).
pps: I am also known as doogie@debian.org, but since I''m doing this for
work,
I''m using my work address.

If not, maybe we should aim to dispense with them and recommend that people just pick some pre-existing /dev entry?

I''m > thinking cds and scsi devices.Normally, the only time that /dev/xvdXX entries get used is when temporarily attaching a virtual disk to a domain for the purposes of making a file system on it and populating its contents before handing it off to another domain (usually as a hdX or sdX device). I''d have thought we could have found an existing device to use that already has /dev entries created in most distributions and wouldn''t cause problems with user space tools (since it wouldn''t be required until after e.g. kudzu has run) Alternatively, we could just recommend people go for an arbitrary unused SCSI device e.g. /dev/sddx (the 127th SCSI disk).

We currently aren''t using VDs, but are netbooting/nfsrooting everything. The reason we are doing that, is it makes centralized management much simpler. One of the reasons we did that, hwoever, was because of xen''s poor support for amd chipsets. It''d be nice if the pci/ide/dma support in xen was more linux like, so more drivers could be dropped in. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Right now, dropping in new drivers isn''t a huge deal, but hasn''t been a priority for us.

If voting could count, I''d get the new IO infrastructure(which I read about on the archives) working first, so that then more hardware can be supported. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

I don''t suppose there''s a live ISO variant of debian? People seem to be quite keen to install directly from the XenDemoCD, which isn''t recommended as I had to do some pretty evil things (including leaving out the RPM database) to get it to fit on the CD and run out of a ram disk. It would be nice to move to something more standard for the next XenDemoCD release.

It is the easiest way to install Debian or any Linux distro in my opinion, it takes about 20 minutes for the full version of Knoppix. You just lose out on customization options. It is easy to craft your own version of Knoppix, the remastering link the last person provided.
