Please speak up if you have reasons that should keep us from doing so. Hi Jan,
I'm afraid I don't understand it completely. What do you mean by host/guest?
There's only the Xen microkernel, all else is "guest".
I'd call it hypervisor. But beyond that there's the capability of kernel-xen to be used for Dom0 operation.
You mean the 32-bit microkernel will be discontinued?
Yes.
You mean there will be no 32-bit PV kernel any longer starting with 12.1?
No. There'll be a pv kernel, but it'll only be usable in a DomU.
You mean both 32-bit HV and (pre-12.1) 32-bit PV will continue to work?
Yes, except for the "pre-12.1" qualification (to be replaced by "non-Dom0"). Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
