Would you mind detailing a little more? You've aroused my curiosity :-) It's true that I've only mixed RHEL4 and RHEL5, only haven't yet tried an i386 domU on an x86_64 dom0 (it's advertised as now working in RHEL5.1 beta), but have gotten 100% success in all scenarios I've tried. For instance, migrating an existing RHEL installed server into a domU is nearly trivial (modprobe.conf, fstab, ifcfg-eth*, kernel+initrd and that's pretty much it). But if paravirtualization is too distro-centric, it'll ultimately reduce its scope, thus its success... :-/ Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) - Linux kernel 2.6.22.2-57.fc7 Load : 1.25 1.03 0.87 _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
