Hello there, Ny name is Ian, from Perth Australia.
I have a question to be answered please. I'm a linux user, so I use
suse, debian, ubuntu and gentoo, and fedora.
I'm interested in exploring the capabilities of xen and have done so an
all the above.
I'm in a brand new instance of squeeze and have just perused the
packages in synaptic for the first time.
I have recently used karmic lenny including a xen live cd which uses
lenny as a dom host.
This has lead to submitting bug reports because the collection of
packages that are used to support virt-manager and xen are extensive and
quite problem ridden. I am now to try the latest packages provided by
squeeze.
I can't help but notice THERE IS NO XEN KERNEL.
So, why is it so? This is like karmic revisited. No xen kernel. I
experimented extensively in karmic only to submit bug reports that were
ignored because Ubuntu does not support xen as a host, dom0.
What is the policy then? Why has Ubuntu retracted supporting xen dom0?
Is it the same for debian?
Why are all xen packages provided but no kernel? I have a xen kernel in
any case, but it is an important ommision.
Ubuntu and debian have provided and supported xen kernels for previous
versions. Has it been unofficially left to SUSE to invest support in
xen as a virtualisation form?
