Thanks for your input on this.

Maybe I understand you wrong, but if the problem is fixed (with
specifically 2.6.18-92.1.1.EL5 + OpenVZ)
The kernel which is shipped as 028stab057.2 can not be compiled with 
Xen. There is a patch fixing the issue, but adding the patch would mean 
yet another different kernel (say 028stab057.3) which should go through 
full release cycle (see below).


Neither we can release a "just xen" kernel, because our releasing 
machinery and infrastructure is just not suitable for that sort of things.

 then couldn't this be made an
offical build?

updates from RHEL plus some from us.


Please understand that a new kernel release is much more than just 
compile/upload/announce. Our kernels are going through an extensive 
internal QA before the release, and as always QA resources are limited 
so we can not afford two kernels in a queue.

I was just about to install a Xen enabled kernel on a recently
installed machine and it would be nice to have the most kernel based
on the most recent RHEL kernel. Otherwise, for me it would mean
installing an old one or waiting for the next one.
I am really sorry, but it looks like this is what you have to do for a 
moment. Our new kernel is in QA and hopefully will be released next week.


As I said before, we could provide an unofficial build for those users 
suffering from the old kernel bugs. Having said that, it's still some 
work to do so requests for such a kernel needs to be justified. I mean, 
saying "my kernel is old and I want a new shiny one" doesn't count.

 Compiling my own is
not an option for now.

Thanks for your time!

Henrik

Hi,

Whats the status of ovzkernel-xen for rhel5? I see in the repo that it
was last built for 028stab053.10 which was in April.

Are there any issues with it or is it just that noone is recompiling
regularly?
