I've just installed xen on sarge yesterday and I already found one HUGE problem: beep doesn't work. Expect many burned pizzas in the near future. :) But seriously. I got hold of the xen 3 deb sources currently stuck in NEW and a 2.6.15+2.6.16-rc5 linux-2.6 svn snapshot, compiled them, installed them, added the correct grub options in menu.lst and it (would have) booted right up (if only I had made an initrd). Since I hate initrds I compiled my own kernel (which actualy took much longer than making an initrd would have) and had my system up and running in xen. After fixing 2 minor bugs (create 2 dirs) the xen-utils work too. Next up is creating actual real life domains and to put services into them instead of the core domain. In summary I have to suggest waiting a while longer for the xen3 debs to mature a bit (what do you expect of the initial release?) or to use upstream sources directly. As for vserver the amd64.debian.net itself is a vserver and I haven't seen any problems with it so far. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
