Are these patches for amd64 DomU only, or for Dom0 as well? And where do I get these patches? Do I need to use the redhat linux sources and patch them with the redhat xen patches, or how is it supposed to work? I guess that make-kpkg may be used from the linux source anyway, as it works with upstream linux sources as well. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Linus only merged in some i386 domU xen patches. The option isn't even available to compile it on amd64 not to mention that it would work at all. I guess it will still take a few kernels before we can use upstream source. >> And indeed some patches seem to be applied (see below). But i still >> don't see any xen options in menuconfig.

The newest working patches I know are from RedHat and for 2.6.20.

IMHO there is no upstream support for kernels newer than 2.6.18. The last "official" opinion I heard was that either Xen gets integrated into the Linux kernel or support for Xen will be dropped from Debian, since there are now other free alternatives that are fully supported on recent kernels. Support for domU is already merged into 2.6.23, but dom0 is not yet and I've heard no plans about when it will be. > And indeed some patches seem to be applied (see below). But i still > don't see any xen options in menuconfig. Maybe the 2.6.22 xen patches > are for i386 only and not ported to amd64 yet? Based on the output those patches do not contain Xen. I don't know what they are for.

Hello, 2007/9/13, Jonas Meurer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > What is the current situation with xen on amd64? I have a dell SC1435 with 2 "Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2212 HE" (4 Cores) I just installed the xen kernel image from etch (2.6.18-4-xen-amd64) (installed it shortly - 1 or 2 weeks - before etch became stable) no downtime related to xen since. A few power outages and minor mistargeted shutdowns (I hate having a bulk of terms with nested screen sessions) but apart from that it serves depending on our situation between 4 and 12 domUs hth martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

how to compile a recent xen dom0 kernel on amd64?
hello, What is the current situation with xen on amd64? the debian/sid archive keeps no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64, and I was not able to compile a 2.6.22 dom0 kernel with debian xen patches applied on my amd64 system. I have linux-source-2.6.22 and linux-patch-debian-2.6.22 installed, and followed the instructions from the workaround for http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699 Then I built the kernel: # make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \ -1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen clean # make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \ -1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen kernel_image And indeed some patches seem to be applied (see below). But i still don't see any xen options in menuconfig. Maybe the 2.6.22 xen patches are for i386 only and not ported to amd64 yet? That would also explain why no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64 package exists in debian/unstable. output of 'make-kpkg ... --added-patches xen kernel_image': [...] test ! -f applied_patches || rm -f applied_patches for patch in /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.22/apply/xen ; do\ if test -x $patch; then\ if $patch; then \ echo "Patch $patch processed fine"; \ echo "$patch" >> applied_patches; \ else \ echo "Patch $patch failed."; \ echo "Hit return to Continue"; \ read ans; \ fi; \ fi; \ done Applying debian patch with xen parts Warning: Can't find series file for 3 (.)
