[opensuse-virtual] OpenSuse plans about dom0 kernel
Hello, virtualization gurus! As far as i know, the current opensuse distribution provides 2.6.27.7 version of dom0. This is very good progress comparing to 2.6.18 base Xen's dom0 version. And what about the next OpenSuse releases? Do you plan to develop new your own dom0 kernel versions? Or may be you are going to switch your dom0 kernel to paravirt_ops technology, Jeremy Fitzhardinge are pushing now. Sorry, i didn't find any link about OpenSuse virtualization technologies roadmap. Point me to it, please, if any. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org

It is still undecided which direction we will go. If the dom0 paravirt_ops support is stable and fully functional when openSUSE 11.2 locks down, I imagine that's what we'll use. If not, we'll definitely create a xen kernel flavor for whatever kernel version is included in openSUSE 11.2 (as we have done with every other openSUSE and SLES release up to this point).

I don't believe that any such document exists. Sorry. Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org

Speaking of openSUSE and Fedora - here I see major difference - Dom 0 was dropped starting with Fedora 9, while it is still exists in openSUSE and Debian project. BTW: Debian 5.0 Lenny uses SUSE code for Xen Dom 0. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org

inasmuch as users will have much of a voice re: what's "fully functional", i'd respectfully ask that 'PCI Passthrough' be part of that consideration. the complete abandonment of its support post-v8 by Fedora set us back quite a bit. good news is that that drove us to adopt/commit_to SLES/D & openSUSE! :-) tbh, i have little doubt that the project will continue to build reliable xen-flavors 'til "all's well". thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
