Xen users - Jun 2011 - stable pv_ops kernel for dom0

Hello. After some tries to work with SLES i want to migrate to another
disto with pv_ops kernel. What kernel best for dom0 in this case?

I want to use oxenstored and libxl toolstack with pv-grub bootloader.

Does i need to use kernel from xen.git tree or from linus 3.0?

What kernel more stable in this case ? (now i do not need specific
things like tmem, cleancache/frontswap/xenpagging and such..)

Thank''s for all suggestions.

Debian has had a pv_ops-based kernel for some time. Ubuntu and Fedora
are planning to add back support officially in their upcoming
releases.

For libxl you''ll want to make sure that you use Xen 4.1 or higher.

After sometime using debian domU kernels i thinks that debian kernel has
lots of bugs with live migration and kernel panics... This may not take
problems in dom0, but....
