On the HEAD (Factory) one we did such a change, but there still is no need to load the driver through /etc/sysconfig/kernel (as that would result in also attempting to load the [non-existing] driver on native boots). Instead, the proper place is in xend's startup script, as was also done by us in preparation to that kernel side change.
heh. i'm getting lost as to what's been (not) done where ...
I wuld think that we can expect you to know what you have installed on your system.
*I* currently have
uname -a Linux server 2.6.34-42-xen #1 SMP 2010-06-01 15:17:00 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As expected, this is not the 11.2 kernel.
... where,
grep -i base Kernel_112.repo XEN4.repo Kernel_112.repo:baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2 XEN4.repo:baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_11.2
Nor would this (assuming XEN4 implies Xen 4.0.0) be the 11.2 hypervisor/tools. I don't think we guarantee consistency at any point in time between Xen and kernel; I would expect them to be consistent at Milestone points (and then only in Factory or whatever tree upcoming OpenSuSE releases get built from). I have no clue if/when/how synchronization happens between Factory and other repos like the one you use.

And, I do. As I've clearly stated above. The lack of clarity is with what's been done, or failed to have been done, in the various repos. NOT with what is, or isn't, installed on my system. as for 11.2 kernel, or not, both
Kernel_112.repo:baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2 XEN4.repo:baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_11.2
are quite clearly 11.2 repos/packages. as to whether or not "the" 11.2 Kernel is to be automatically presumed to be referring to the RELEASE Kernel ... As for guarantees -- noone's asked for them. I've provided info about something that's broken, and have shared/discussed a workaround here. If you're happy with the way things are, or would rather simply ignore such issues -- really, no skin off my nose. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org

The Virtualization project in OBS is where we maintain virtualization-related packages like xen, kvm, libvirt, etc. Commits to this project are expected to work reasonably well on Factory. When a package passes "stage" testing, it is submited to Factory. We typically submit packages from Virtualization to Factory at key milestones, such as 11.3 milestone 4, or 11.3 RC2. OBS project admins have control over build targets. For Virtualization project I have all of the currently maintained openSUSE distros enabled. In general, I'd like users to have access to latest version of a package for a maintained distro. Doing so is certainly not supported and bug reports are useful if they exist in Factory as well. For some packages, such as Xen, perhaps it is best to only have Factory target enabled.
