The problem is that xen is quite behind with kernels, afaik it's a HUGE patch to apply and the most recent version is 18 (or 20 or something, it's been some time) and I gave up following that since the only sane options to get a stable xen host where: a) use distro packages from a stable tree b) use the download from xensource (which I dislike because it pollutes the machine) If I could decide again I'd probably go with VMWare or kvm or vserver which I heard are include in the kernel mainline (well the latter 2 iirc), but xen seems to choose the commercial way and just adds patches based on their business plan. I don't hink it will be included in the mainline kernel any time soon. (Yes bash me, but that is just my personal experience) I may be wrong on vserver, but i read a bit about the kvm stuff and forgot about it since we have no way to switch away from xen due to lack of resources. /martin -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours You are not free to read this message, by doing so, you have violated my licence and are required to urinate publicly.
