Hello everyone! I was browsing these pages: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads.html http://www.xensource.com/xen/downloads/ http://lxr.xensource.com/ And I could not find a version of the Linux kernel (i.e. 2.6.16.x) patched with the stable (3.0.2 as far as I know) version of Xen. The closest match was: http://lxr.xensource.com/lxr/source/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/ But it contains the unstable branch of Xen, not the stable one. So, is there any "official" place where I could find the kernel 2.6.16.29 patched with the 3.0.2 (stable) version of Xen? Thanks in advance. -- Jaume Sabater http://linuxsilo.net/ "Ubi sapientas ibi libertas" _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The only place you''d potentially find that release for 3.0.2 is if any distribution is using the same with a 3.0.2 release - not sure if there is any... -- Mats> > Thanks in advance. > > -- > Jaume Sabater > http://linuxsilo.net/ > > "Ubi sapientas ibi libertas" > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

There is this development server, Alioth, and it contains the patches for 2.6.16.19. I tried to apply them to a vanilla kernel 2.6.16.29 and they applied nicely, but the make command did not succeed. Anyway, I was hoping to find the "official" kernel used by the Xen developers (i.e. 2.6.16.29, if I am not mistaken) replicated in the three branches, but I see they only upgrade kernel versions in the unstable branch, which is very much understandable. :) Since you mentioned, will the kernel version 2.6.16.29 be the official kernel used for the new 3.0.3 stable version, when it''s released?

So if you want the latest version, you''d better get the latest version. It''s worth keeping in mind that XenSource isn''t really a distributor of Linux kernel''s, they supply a patch to the kernel with their source-code, and a means to download the official kernel. Once the release is done, it''s up to each consumer to update that kernel to the latest if they so wish - with the ideal model being that you use some official distro as your installation source unless you''re a Xen/Linux-kernel hacker, and thus you get your pre-compiled kernel and Xen-hypervisor from SuSE, Redhat, Debian etc. The "released" versions of Xen is as much for the release to distributor consumers as it is to release a version to individual consumers. With distributions today having Xen 3.0.2, I''d expect new versions containing 3.0.3 to be made available soon-ish.> > Since you mentioned, will the kernel version 2.6.16.29 be the > official > kernel used for the new 3.0.3 stable version, when it''s released?Yes, that would be the one, to the best of my belief - bear in mind that although I work WITH Xen, I''m by no means an official spokesperson for XenSource, so there''s some element of uncertainty in that statement. Btw, it''s also probably worth pointing out that the current "unstable" should be fairly stable, as the patches going into it are mainly small improvements, and nothing "earth-shattering" - so it''s pretty close to being the 3.0.3 source right now... -- Mats> > Cheers! > > -- > Jaume Sabater > http://linuxsilo.net/ > > "Ubi sapientas ibi libertas" > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
