You can stay with debain, the kvm has backward compatibility option that makes it possible to compile the kvm modules with kernels >2.6.16. You'll need to get the new userspace & kernel repositories and call make sync -C kernel LINUX=NEW_KERNEL_PATH. make -C kernel will build the modules for your kernel. > > Thanks, > Andrey > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > From: Alexey Eremenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 3:42 AM > To: Andrey Dmitriev; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [kvm-devel] stable distro for kvm? > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Andrey > Dmitriev > Sent: Tue 2/12/2008 11:20 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [kvm-devel] stable distro for kvm? > > >Any recommendations or link to plans for a stable KVM with any major > distro? > > Latest KVM (KVM-60) is stable; Fedora7+/RHEL5+ have good support for > KVM. openSUSE/SLES 11.x will likely have good KVM support too. > > >I've read somewhere that Ubuntu will support it soon (how soon?) but > I thought it was based on debian, and it doesn't seem to have it as > part of etch yet (if I switch to unstable, I seem to be able to get > it) > > Debian Etch (Stable) was feature-frozen before KVM was released. > (Debian Etch was released in 2007, but it was in feature-freeze since > summer of 2006). > As with any Debian Stable, it takes time to insert features into it. > Those features need to be ready nearly year before insertion into > Debian Stable.
