There is now a kernel-xen-pvops that also should work as dom0.
Now this is mostly upstream kenel.org code so its not as fully
featured as the old kernel-xen. You can see the features listed here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps.
There is one exception: our 2.6.38 kernel has xen-netback backend driver
added.
So those of you that have been using xen, please test atleast the
following:
- check that kernel-server still works as a xen guest
- try to use kernel-xen-pvops as dom0 and see how it works
(you can also try to use kernel-xen-pvops as a normal xen guest)
Doesn't that mean that when running in XEN, the installer shouldn't
pick kernel-server
instead of kernel-desktop? (since we've no dom0 support in the later)
Or even kernel-xen-pvps if there's no HW support for virtualisation?
If 'running in Xen' means 'running as guest', you don't need any special
kernel for hardware virtualisation, and just a kernel with Xen support for
paravirtualisation. The dom0 support is only needed for the xen host. Which
means the installer kernel itself should have xen support to be runnable in
any context.
Either we should restore alt1 in installer or we should enable DOM0 support
in desktop kernel
You seems to be confusing xen basic support and xen dom0 support. The
later is only useful for server kernel, while the first one should be
enabled for all kernels. Provided the original concerns with nvidia AGP
support are fixed now.
