kernel-xenU on non-64bit EC2 instance

2010-10-01 Thread Caleb Maclennan
Alright guys I'm lost. I've been poking around in specs trying to
figure this out and can't make out what I'm supposed to use or what I
need to work on if there isn't the right thing available.

I am trying to maintain several TH machines on i386 instances over on
EC2. They have recently opened up their systems to running custom
kernels inside the instance using pv-grub. I can't figure out what pld
kernel package to use for this.

The kernel-xenU package is set to x86_64 only?

The kernel-xen package was last maintained in 2008?

The kernel package doesn't have xen block drivers.

What path should I be pursuing here?

Yes, that is because I use xen domU on x86_64 machines only. If you
need xen domU on i686, feel free to add this arch to
kernel-xenU.spec. Any help with this spec will be appreciate.

 The kernel-xen package was last maintained in 2008?

Yes, it is obsolte.

 The kernel package doesn't have xen block drivers.

Yes, other kernels are compiled without xen domU support. Use
kernel-xenU.spec (and please, help to develop/test it on 32 archs).
