Upcoming Fedora 14 Linux Release
Dear All, May I know whether the upcoming F14 release will include support for Xen pv-ops Dom0 kernel? Thank you very much.

No. The Fedora policy isn't to include dom0 support until it makes it into the upstream kernel. Some pieces have made it into 2.6.36 pre-rc but more are required before dom0 will work. It might be in f15 if 2.6.37 is out in time and if dom0 support is in it, though f16 or later is more likely. Note that in the f14 and rawhide xen package xm and possibly xend are currently broken due to python 2.6-2.7 changes in xmlrpc.

Re: Upcoming Fedora 14 Linux Release
Dear M A Young, Thank you for your prompt reply and updates. I will stick to Fedora 11 at the moment until Fedora 16 or later. Thank you very much.

Uh, Fedora 11 is not supported anymore and it also never had a Xen Dom0 kernel, pvops or otherwise. The last Fedora release to ship a Xen Dom0 kernel was Fedora 8, and that was from the old Xen codebase which was rejected upstream. The Fedora kernel team stopped shipping the classic Xen at that point because they didn't want to spend their time porting non- upstream patchsets to the current upstream kernel (and in fact F8's kernel- xen lagged significantly behind the main kernel). Xen pvops DomU support was ready for F9, but Dom0 support is taking its time to get upstreamed (and the Fedora kernel team does not want to use non-upstream patchsets for the same reasons they stopped shipping classic Xen). So I'd suggest to use a currently supported Fedora release (12 or 13) with the unofficial Dom0 kernel RPMs out there (built for F12, I don't know if they work on F13).

Re: Upcoming Fedora 14 Linux Release
Dear Kevin Kofler, You may wish to check out my Youtube videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/enmingteo for my Xen pv-ops Dom0 kernels and also VGA passthrough which were implemented in my Fedora 11 x86_64 home multimedia desktop tower system (at the time of this writing, there are 20 uploaded videos in my Youtube account). You may also wish to read my open letter for details on how I managed to get Xen pv-ops dom0 kernels installed into Fedora 11 (extremely technical). You will have to dig through my postings at the Xen-devel mailing list from July 2009 to November 2009. Please click the following internet link for my open letter. http://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/mpich-discuss/2010-August/007693.html Yours sincerely, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Citizenship: Singapore Citizen/Singaporean Facebook account:http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=10750083982 Location: Bedok Reservoir Road, Singapore 470103 My Open Letter (Plea for Medical Help/Assistance) to World Leaders: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-August/380213.html On 08/16/2010 11:43 AM, Kevin Kofler wrote: Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) of Singapore wrote: I will stick to Fedora 11 at the moment until Fedora 16 or later.
