[Xen-users] Interesting (strange?) domU kernel behavior

[John S Little <JSLittl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just download the latest changeset from mercurial.  I compiled using 
make world with just the -xen option.  I kept my previous dom0\domU 
configuration from the stable kernel released in Dec. so all of the are on 
the same machine.  The machine is running SLES9 SP3, dual cpu dual core 
amd athlon 64.

Booting into dom0 with the new -xen kernel went just fine.  However 
booting the domU with the new -xen kernel did not give me an ip address. 
When I switched the domU config file to use the original -xenU kernel it 
worked ok.

Is there something that I should\should not do when using a -xen 
configuration for the ip address.  It is assigned statically in the 
configuration file.

My real question is this-I am expecting to run several domU file servers 
on this machine.  By using the original  -xenU kernel am I losing any 
networking\samba\ etc. benefits gained by using the latest hg kernel or is 
most of that load handled in dom0?
