Then, I guess you misread my question. Here it is again ... * non-patched git : This is what I tried. There is no xen Dom0 option. There are other xen config options (CONFIG_XEN=y, ... ) that one would expect in a xen dom0. So, I thought it is xenified like 2.6.18-xen. With this kernel, the display blanks out after a few XEN printks. Is this kernel supposed to work ? I suspect it could be some console-init stuff, if it was supposed to work. * patched git : There is an option for xen privileged domain. Options look like in pvops. WIth the patches applied (got applied correctly), compilation fails. At a cursory glance, patches seem to assume CONFIG_NUMA to be set.>From Keir''s mail, I guess we should not need the patchqueue.-dulloor On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 3:15 AM, Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@yahoo.com>wrote:> Run "make menuconfig" after non patched checkout > and make sure there is no option for Xen Privileged Domain > to be enabled.

The base tree XCI/linux-2.6.27.git is a mainstream linux 2.6.27 nothing more. To have a xenified kernel you need to apply the patch queue on the top. But we can definitely comes up with a coalesce version of the patch queue inside the main tree.
