As I understand it, 2.6.39uek = 3.0.16. The versioning is for their tool compatibility, even though it should be 2.6.40.16 under the commonly accepted versioning for 2.6.x IIRC. And allegedly Xen went upstream early in 3.x. Was it 3.0.3? Or was that 3.3? I think it was in 3.0. But it

Since you're playing with third-party kernels on top of RHEL 5, why not try the ones from ELRepo? I've used their kernels on a RHEL 6 system to get bleeding-edge USB 3.0 support and they've been great on two systems (nothing production). I've not used their kernels for RHEL 5 (which have a

That kernel works and it boots fine without xen. With xen it panics because it doesn't have support for Dom0: shell$ grep CONFIG_XEN /boot/config-3.0.42-1.el5.elrepo # CONFIG_XEN is not set # CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST is not set Argh!! 3.0 kernel lacks some xen backend drivers needed by
