I've posted a correction in the forementioned Tech Help Forums which describes these different Xen implementations and recommends that the User should select the DomU kernel based on first determining what kind of kernel Linode is implementing.
I'll admit I'm completely lost trying to follow what you're trying to solve. Or even if your comments, in this thread I started, are for me. So getting back to my original point, with particular respect to Linode, all Linodes are PV guests. You need a pv-ready kernel to launch the guest. Your options there are (1) launch the guest using one of Linode's provided kernels. They're all pv-ready. (2) launch the guest using pvgrub, booting to the guest's pvops 'default' kernel (3) launch the guest using pvgrub, booting to the guest's non-pvops, 'xenified' kernel For Opensuse 13.2 guests, (1) & (3) are possible from the distro. There is currently no (2) from pkgs -- you'd have to build your own kernel for that. For now. For (1) all versions of Linode's kernels up to and including 3.19.1 work great. For (2) Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu (so far) all work (by that I just mean that they boot annd networking works) with latest kernels I can find. For (3) versions of Opensuse's kernels <= 3.18.x work. 3.19.x is broken right now, looks like for at least networking. ------------------------------------------------- VFEmail.net - http://www.vfemail.net ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!
