AW: [Xen-devel] The right way to get an actualxen-enabledkernel-source tree?

["Rustedt, Florian" <Florian.Rustedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again ;)

Reason for 2.6.28 is, that i was told by xen-users that 2.6.27 from SLES is 
buggy and after tests, i could approve that.
Additionally, i was told that 2.6.28 with xen support is stable. Unfortunately, 
nobody could tell me until now, where i could get that mysterious 
2.6.28-xen-kernel, so that's why i am asking now here..

As i am using gentoo, i would need a source-tree to compile the kernel for me, 
prebuild binaries wont be from help.
I didn't find any not sles-xen-kernel-source (src-rpm) in higher versions, p.e. 
by redhat to "steel" this ;) 

I tried the "lenny"-way, but debian makes some strange things in the 
kernel-source packages that i don't understand in result as non-debianist, so i 
went back again to the roots and wanted to take the good old vanilla-source and 
patch it ;)

What is your advice concerning the stability of jeremys pv_ops enabled 
git-sources concerning stability?

An absolute no-go, or is it near stable, just waiting for some last checks?

Cheers, Florian
