Hi Thomas,

can you give me a hint, how i can get a complete xen-patched source-tree for 2.6.28(.xx)?
Or a xen patch-set for vanilla-sources?
Or even better, is there perhaps a way for you to give me your kernel-source tree as download? Then i've got exactly the same version and can be sure to exclude this topic as failure source..?
I could provide a ftp-upload location for that, if that helps?

Of course i read this: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

But then i would have a 2.6.29 kernel and for now it would be better, if i get exact your version that is known to work...?

Cheers, Florian
