Hi Folks : Can you guys confirm whether the PCI front end driver is available in the mainline 2.6.37 kernel that was just released? Xen wiki says : "Yes. Starting with kernel.org Linux 2.6.37 Xen PV domU PCI passthrough is supported out-of-the-box, ie. xen-pcifront driver is included in the standard kernel!" However, both the announcement mail : https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/4/266 and the kernel newbies 2.6.37 page : http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_37 does not mention xen at all! Thanks, ani PS : please do a reply-all as I am not subscribed to the list. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

You need to look at the git logs for that. Ian. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
