Currently, all SUSE distros ship with a Xen kernel, not a pvops enabled kernel. The SUSE host will always contain a Xen kernel for booting into Xen. When installing a SUSE distro as a guest and you choose para-virtualization you will get a Xen kernel (kernel-xen) in the guest. If you install something like Fedora you will get a pvops kernel. Installing a Xen HVM SUSE guest will give you a native SUSE kernel (not pvops) in the guest. - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
