Re: [Xen-users] DomU kernel compilation question...

[Stephan Seitz <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

i've never used it, but via pygrub this should be possible. As far as
I know, pygrub uses a menu entry at domU's /boot directory and also
loads the kernel from this place. I could be wrong, but this way, the
owner of a domU is able to use his own kernel (as long as it's valid
for the host architecture (PAE/64bit vs non-PAE) and contains the xen-
patches. A vanilla kernel will probably not work.
If you want to give full access to the domU owner, use HVM domU's.

cheers, Stephan
