I am trying to compile/run xen/linux using xen4.1.1 and
linux 3.1-rc4 as dom0. These are the latest stable(*1, *2) releases as
far as I can tell. Most of the email/documentation imply that I should be
using the 'jeremy' kernel but other email/docs imply that all of these fixes
are now folded into Linux 3.1-rc4.
My question is:
Can I expect xen4.1.1 and linux 3.1-rc4 as DOM0 to work
correctly? My current problem is that xend fails to start up (hangs).
I get the RTNETLINK problem but all of the solutions I could find have been
applied.
Thank you in advance
Jeff
*1) I tried xen4.1.2 but it failed with handle_irq_event_percpu
error. I could only find a patch that was appropriate for xen 4.1.1 and
used it to remove the error.
*2) The newest 3.1-rc4 kernel would not run due to kernel
bug 42412 about nouveau not working on older GEForce2 cards. I got
around this by putting 'nomodeset' on the linux boot command line.
