What's wrong with using the same compatibility settings as openSUSE 12.3 (Xen
4.1 compat)? This appears to work in most Xen hosts. Is there really anything
extra to maintain beyond setting the line in the kernel config?
I don't know what the long-term plans are for the openSUSE kernel, but I see
other distros like Ubuntu and Fedora have gone to one generic kernel w/pvops,
which boots just fine under Xen PV. The Ubuntu kernel configs don't have any
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_* options at all, but they boot just fine even under Xen
4.0.3 (SLES 11 SP1).
I just tested building a kernel with this change and then replacing
boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen in my install tree. With that installation source,
13.1 boots just fine on a SLES 11 SP1 Dom0, and presumably would for Citrix
XenServer also. If an updated kernel-xen package was pushed out for 13.1, then
I could add the update repo during installation (or to my autoyast config) and
everything would be fine.
Note: I had to pick kernel-source version 3.11.6-4.1 (the version from the DVD
and 13.1-oss) in YaST. I first had installed kernel-source 3.11.10-7.1 (the
latest in updates right now), and while my kernel booted, the initrd modules
did not match, so I could not actually perform an installation.
