Xen users - May 2007 - 2.6.20 domU kernel on 2.6.16 kernel

Hi,

I have host running 2.6.16 dom0 kernel (Gentoo based).

All my domUs are using 2.6.16 custom compiled kernels.

Now my question is - is it possible to use newer version for domUs,
for example 2.6.20 FC6 domU kernel?

Do you use Fullvirtualization, you should can use almost any kernel
without modification.


Do you use Paravirtualization, you must compile XenU-kernel::
  VERxen=3.0.4 ;VERlin=2.6.16
  cd xen-$VERxen/linux-$VERlin-xenU
  cp vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-$VERlin-xenU
  VERxen=3.0.5 ;VERlin=2.6.18
  cd xen-$VERxen/linux-$VERlin-xenU
  cp vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-$VERlin-xenU
(2.6.20 would require kernelpatch, release in any month to the future)
