 Great! Thanks a lot.

 I've upgraded to Xen 4.4.2 and everything went fine. I've tested
 save/restore and few basic stuff, all good.
 
 [root@dev1 ~]# uname -r  xl info|grep xen_version
 4.0.1-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
 xen_version: 4.4.2-1.el6
 [root@dev1 ~]#

 for me.

WRT a new kernel .. the 3.18.x kernel has been selected to be maintained
as an LTS until Jan 2017.  I think we should start work on rebuilding
this kernel and using it in the x4c projects.

https://lwn.net/Articles/636289/

Thoughts?

I will grab this kernel and try to roll in all the patches, etc. and see
if I can make it work.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Karl,

Note:  We use a non released version of blktap (version 2.5) from the
xen maintainers .. I don't think the blktap (if it even exists) in the
main line kernels will work properly.  But, I could be wrong .. George
or Lars, what do you think.

There are other devices that can be used, so obviously that kernel can
still work, since you are using it now :)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
