As I'm sure you know there is no Xen domain 0 kernel present in Lenny. I think we are currently recommending that people who require a Xen domain 0 stick with the Etch kernel on a Lenny userspace/hypervisor until "Lenny and a half" at which point we hope dom0 (and 64 bit) support will be in the paravirt ops kernel. (is there consensus on this in the kernel team?)
With that in mind what level of updates would we be willing to accept into an update of the Etch kernel to make this work? I'm particularly thinking of http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/c9ac0bace498 which is pretty much a pure feature patch but will allow a 64 bit domain 0 to speak disk to 32 bit guests. This is quite handy given Lenny only supports 32 bit guests... http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121959036719825 If this is unacceptable (probably?) then are there any other options/plans/ideas for providing an updated 2.6.18 domain 0 kernel? I hear Bastian has a repo somewhere? Ian. -- Ian Campbell Meekness: Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while. -- Ambrose Bierce
