Folks, There have been some pretty significant checkins to the unstable tree today: First off, we''ve made it so that by default ''make world'' builds a Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel rather than 2.4.27. I know a lot of people still use 2.4, but I think its important the 2.0 release is "2.6 native". Secondly, a number of important MMU optimisations have just been enabled in the 2.6.8.1 tree. Performance should now be as good as 2.4. We''ve done a fair bit of testing, but should you have problems, it would be useful to know if you can repeat with CONFIG_WRITABLE_PAGETABLES disabled in the linux kernel. I''ve created a new xen-2.0.bk tree on xen.bkbits.net which is where the source for the 2.0 release will live. For the next few weeks we expect this tree to simply be a time-lagged version of the xeno-unstable.bk tree: bug fixes will get road tested in the unstable tree then pushed to 2.0 if no problems are reported. To clone the proto 2.0 tree use "bk clone bk://xen.bkbits.net/xen-2.0.bk" NB: We''ve named the repository ''xen'' rather than ''xeno'' as the latter name no longer makes sense now that the XenoServer project now lives in a different repository. We''d be grateful if as many people as possible could test this beta over the next few days, so we can shake out any bugs before the official 2.0 release, hopefully next week or so.

You should find your domain builder works on 2.6 just as before, and the IO device interfaces are identical.

my bad. I was missing at least the file a4.sty. Installing tetex-extra (debian package) fixed it up. I now remember having to do that on the other server.

I just picked up the latest xen-2.0.bk bits, built and installed them on a machine that''s been running an older version of xen and linux for a while. Now nothing works. Never mind xen, linux barely works. Every other command core dumps. This must be something simple... probably related to changing from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel??

There are some issues with TLS in more recent versions of FC (e.g FC3 test series) -- try booting with ''nosegfixup'' or move /lib/tls/ out of the way. Can you pin down a particular point where this behaviour starts to be exhibited (i.e. play with bk cset -x and rollback csets)? Any serial debug output you can give us? cheers, S.
You might need to upgrade your distribution, I''m running FC-1 and unstable 1.1303 and I''m getting complaints of mount being out of date when running 2.6.8.1.>From my limited experiences the only thing that is *completely* brokenis pdb. -Kip On Tue, 14 Sep 2004, Rob Gardner wrote:> I just picked up the latest xen-2.0.bk bits, built and installed them on > a machine that''s been running an older version of xen and linux for a > while.

I guess it was one of those "issues".

Certainly I tested that code on RH9 before and it worked fine. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte''s Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.

For interest, can you let us know the versions of the libraries you have in /lib/tls (e.g. libc-2.3.x, etc)? cheers, S.

It said "to obtain full performance, move /lib/tls". So I didn''t immediately think this was the culprit.

So I didn''t immediately think this was the culprit.I shall fix the banner. Easier than fixing the incomplete emulation. ;-) The only purpose of that is really to get you to a boot prompt to execute the mv command anyway. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte''s Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.
