Hi everyone, i have a very simple question so sorry if it looks like an stupid one. If i want to support an specific hardware on a domainU, which of the kernels (domain0 or domainU) should have compiled in the support? Which is the best way to change the default kernel .config used by xen at compile time? (Using xen-unstable-src) Thx in advanced, Ghe Rivero _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

What exactly do you have in mind? Which hardware do you want to access from domU?
