Hello Pasi, Yes it's a transition period, with the new kernel not being complete in terms of xen functionality, but more complete and recent in terms of linux hardware drivers. The same will apply for blktap2, and perhaps netchannel2 as well unless those get fixed in time. Wish i could help, but i lack the programming skills to do so. Haven't seen a reaction from Stephen yet if there is a hypervisor/dom0-kernel-xen-related boot options document available as start for a new wiki. -- Sander Thursday, January 28, 2010, 9:29:36 AM, you wrote: > On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 09:26:23AM +0100, Sander Eikelenboom wrote: >> Hello Pasi, >> >> PV-USB is not yet in the default pvops kernel that is going to ship with 4.0 >> or am i mistaken ? >> Will it before 4.0 comes out ? >> > True, it's only in Xen and in linux-2.6.18-xen. >> This could deliver some confusion, if the hypervisor supports things it's >> default dom0 kernel doesn't yet. >> > Yep.
