The dom0 stuff, however, which is required to build a hypervisor, is *not* in mainline. Your link states that in a comment, but I wanted to explicitly point it out. To quote kernelnewbies: Xen Part of Xen has been merged. The support included in 2.6.23 will allow the kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the Xen hypervisor. But support for the hypervisor is not included - this is only guest support, no dom0, no suspend/resume, no ballooning. It's based in the paravirt_ops infrastructure. I don't want anybody disappointed from the realization when they get to the kernel configuration with 2.6.23 ;). signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] what about Xen finally?
Hi, I have a computer with a intel 4965 wireless chipset on which I want to run Xen and only use ebuilds. So, I need a recent gentoo kernel (some 2.6.22 but I dont know which exactly). I really want to use only ebuilds. The question would then be: What ebuild (from whose repository?) should I use? I ask because the xen install on the wiki becomes messy and I feel lost reading it. Anyway, some mentionned repos are out of date in there, it's a sign of old documentation. I am volunteer to clean it up, but I need help in order to know what are the new informations. Thank you in advance. PS: I wish to use a 64 bit system if possible... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Xen actually made it in to the .23 mainline kernel, and should therefore be seen in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23* (if you feel like waiting a little longer). Otherwise, use xen-sources and the xen ebuilds. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
