Hi guys, i''ve just installed xen 4.0. Since always blktapctl has never worked on my dell 1950III. I even posted a bug but so far i can''t use tap:aio or similar. I thought that with version 4 this would work, but it didn''t. I still see syslog errors from blktap version 1.0.0. Today i wanted to try version 2 I found on the xen/tools source folder. I compiled the source with make && make install, no problem, but it seems I also need the kernel driver. I''ve tried both 2.6.31.13 and 2.6.32.11 and none has the config TAP2 option, only the TAP. It depends on something to be seen? Or maybe is in another version of the kernel? How can I try blktap2 please...

At least Jeremy has been using it with a pvops dom0 kernel and Xen 4.0.0. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
