Public bug reported:
I don't really get the decision to create a linux-image-virtual without
support to run the OS paravirtualized on a Xen host. This will drive
people away from ubuntu as a server system. Virtualization is growing on
importance and not supporting something like Xen (or XenServer for that
matter) makes no sense. There are not to few people using ubuntu hardy
LTS paravirtualized under xen - and those people can not upgrade to the
new lucid LTS.
There needs to be something to support this - or at LEAST a howto page
on howto prepare hardy and the new lucid kernel to be compiled with xen
guest pv support. I know ubuntu focuses on desktops, but making an
upgrade for servers virtually impossible without tampering with every
single system is not the way ubuntu was desgined. At least in my
undertanding...
