[Xen-devel] Debian squeeze as Dom 0?

[maheen butt <maheen_butt26@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm going through the experience of learning XEN. My intentions are to track down changes (at source code level) required to make a kernel into dom 0

kernel (if we consider that particular kernel is earlier than 2.6.18). while going through Xen wiki I have a confusion in my mind.

Debian squeeze 6.0 is said to be Dom 0 kernel. Debian squeeze is using 2.6.32 linux kernel and once we install Debian we have to install Xen packages 

in which Xen enabled Linux kernel is also included. Then why we consider Debian squeeze as Dom 0 kernel because of its readily available packages?

it is also stated that Dom 0 support was added since 2.6.37 and if we have a distribution having kernel 3.0 we just need to install hypervisor.  then why we call 

Debian squeeze a Dom 0 kernel though it is using 2.6.32 kernel?

Thanks in advance

maheen
