Hi,

you have probably noticed that the SUSE virtualization developers have been working on porting features from the kernel-source patches.xen series to the upstream Xen implementation. This mostly works nowadays, so at the SUSE Labs Conference last month, we agreed to finally get rid of kernel-xen in Factory and instead use kernel-default with CONFIG_XEN (the mainline option) enabled. I prepared a branch on github

https://github.com/michal42/kernel-source stable-noxen

which does exactly this. Test packages are building here:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:michal-m:kernel-stable-noxen

The kernel boots and works on my machine, both on bare metal and under the hypervisor (*), but there is some integration work to be done before it can be submitted to Factory:

- The installer needs to cope with kernel-xen not available and choose kernel-default. Something like the attached patch should fix it (untested). - perl-Bootloader: Right now, it creates a Xen multiboot entry if the kernel is named -xen, otherwise it creates a regular linux entry. Create both entries if the Xen hypervisor is installed? - kernel-xen needs to be dropped from the patterns, but that's trivial - We have been building a kernel-obs-build-xen package for the OBS workers, which now disappears.

Anything missing to make the move?

The installer needs to be updated (or at least, tested). I didn't have time for this due to SLE12 SP1. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
