Hi,
we had some vary bad experience with 2.6.18 on our hardware (random
freeze/locks) and lost a lot of time... so we chose the kernel that is
up-to-date and yet stable/mature, 2.6.22 seemed to be a good choice
and we have it running for over 30 days now on 25 test machines. Works
pretty well.
Many major distributions that aren't bleeding edge use 2.6.22
(OpenSUSE, ubuntu, etc.), it seemed a good kernel for us... to be
honest we just wanted a stable/working kernel, because we where fed up
with compiling/testing/freeze etc. and didn't think about xen. I must
also admit that we don't have much experience with xen, well it's an
interesting technology and we should definitely give it a try, but we
had so much work on the networking and base related stuff that we
didn't have much time for it.
What do you think if for now we just package a "kernel-xen" package
that is separate, and maybe merge it together with the main kernel in
efw 2.3? I think we could use 2.6.24 for efw 2.3, that should work
pretty well with xen, right? What's the opinion of the xen experts out
there? :)
After efw 2.2 we have to shorten the release cycles to 3-5 months
(really ;), 2.2 has taken too long because we changed a lot in the
"core" (uplinks, firewall scripts, etc.), it took over a year of
development.
2.2 should finally be released in early february, and we're in the
bugfixing and cleaning up phase right now. Please help us finding and
fixing bugs! :)
Regards,
Raphael

Hi,
why not try to switch to kernel 2.6.23.x?
This and all subsequent kernel versions include support for xen-
DomU. So, you could eliminate the need to support two different
kernel versions!
Wouldn't that be a desirable aim?

NicoP.

Re: [Efw-user] EFW 2.2 Beta1: hwdetect script - bug (within
XEN DomU)?
Hi,
we switched to kernel 2.6.22.15 for endian firewall 2.2 because we had
some problems with RHEL 2.6.18 on our hardware appliances (probably
related to rtc/clocksource). 2.6.22 is a very stable kernel and is
definitely a better choice for efw because it features a more modern
netfilter/networking stack. In our labs it ran on 30 machines for 1
month without any problems, 2.6.18 just freezed randomly every 2-5
days.
The only drawback is that it doesn't have XEN support out-of-the-box,
but until the final release of 2.2 we will include an alternative xen
kernel. Right now we're concentrating on bugfixing/stabilizing the
system and we didn't have much time to test the xen kernel, please
give us some feedback about 2.6.18-53.1.4, if it runs fine and stable
we'll include it into the final release :)
Regards,
Raphael
