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

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

Hardware-issue are the network-drivers on that HP, the're too new for 2.6.18

I don't know exactly when they got statically bound into the kernel, but at 
least after 2.6.21.
It's part of the tg3-drivers:
Tigon3 [partno(N/A) rev a200 PHY(5722/5756)] (PCI Express) 10/100/1000Base-T 
Ethernet

I need gigabit. I tried to use the drivers seperatly and compile them in with 
xen-2.6.18, but they all went down to 100MBit, only the newer kernel-internal 
tigon3 went up to gigabit.

So i'm stuck to newer kernels....
