Re: [Xen-users] Benchmarking GPL PV Drivers for Windows between0.9.11-pre13 and 0.10.0.69

Pasi,

Thanks for putting that wiki page together for the dom0 kernels - it's something that has long been needed for pulling together information on those kernels.  I know it's always a chore for me to find info on how to get/build a dom0 kernel if I don't like the one that's included with a distribution.

 

Thanks!

-Nick

Ok. Fedora 11 now has Xen 3.3.1 hypervisor and tools, and it will receive
3.4.1 shortly after it has been released upstream (rawhide already has 3.4.0).

There are also pv_ops dom0 kernel RPMs for testing:
http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/

Also you might be interested of the wiki page I made yesterday:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels

I've been successfully using Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 with pv_ops dom0 myself..
there are still some bugs and issues, some bigger changes still need to be
done to get accepted upstream, but it's already in a state where you can
definitely beta test it :)

You too :)
