It might take several minutes if your server is from the location far
from Singapore :p
If you mean rpm -Uvh for any kernel, you will have problems. Please
use rpm -ivh for any kernels please.

You are not wrong. Example if you want to install xen-4.1 with kernel v3.2:
# choonrpmsrepoctl enable choonrpms
# choonrpmsrepoctl create choonrpms-xen-4.1
# choonrpmsrepoctl enable choonrpms-xen-4.1
# choonrpmsrepoctl create choonrpms-kernels-3.2
# choonrpmsrepoctl enable choonrpms-kernels-3.2
# yum -y install xen choon-kernel
Skip the "create choonrpms-kernels and enable choonrpms-kernels" since
you want to use v3.2 for example.
Here is one of my server output running xen-4.1 latest changeset and
choon-kernel-3.2.4:

fallback option is there if got problem to boot the default=# kernel.
So never put fallback=# and default=# to your untest kernel. In fact,
to test a kernel I will never put that kernel in default=# not
fallback=# lines.
Example:
default=1
fallback=1
title 1st custom kernel ... ...
title 1st stock kernel entry in grub.conf ... ...
title 2nd stock kernel ... ...
your default=1 here refers to the second title line in grub.conf which
is 1st stock kernel. If you put default=0 then it refers to 1st
custom kernel (first title line from top to bottom).
So how to test without setting default boot kernel for custom kernel
as above? Very simple:
Issue the below command as root:
# echo "savedefault --default=0 --once" | grub --no-floppy --batch
Then reboot. The above command temp. set default=0 only once in grub
and if the server never comes back online, you can ask the data center
tech. to reboot then it will boot to your default=1 kernel.

Ok. Just to make sure.

Ok so it is tg3 driver huh... this one is compiled as module. At
least I can confirm in v3.2 kernel.

Your welcome. I hope you are testing it with a test server fresh

Thanks.
