Get it from http://markus.schuster.name/download/linux/xen-vserver/patch-2.6.16.33-xen_to_2.6.16.40-xen-vserver.patch.gz It includes: - Updates from 2.6.16.33 to 2.6.16.40 - patch-2.6.16.38-vs2.0.3-rc1.1.diff - Corrections to make it all work together My productive server runs this kernel and it seems to work fine.

Now my test results: 1.) patch time I had been able to patch a XEN 2.6.16.38 and it produced rejects in the following 3 files: include/asm-i386/page.h net/ipv4/tcp.c Makefile The Makefile can be ignored, that's just the version string. The other two rejects are easy to fix. In tcp.c it's just an #include and page.h is well known to me from older vserver patches and also rather easy to fix (more or less copy-and-paste from the .rej file). 2.) compile time I had some problems with JFS, there are some constants used that aren't defined elsewhere. The patch adds the two functions jfs_set_inode_flags and jfs_sync_flags to fs/jfs/jfs_inode.c and most/all? of the constants used in this two functions are undefined. But no problem for me as I don't need JFS. I've just disabled it. No further compile time problems with my .config. 3.) run time I've just done some basic testing and until now all is working as expected. But let me do some more testing :) A big THANK YOU from my side! Now I can upgrade to XEN 3.0.4-1 without the buggy Debian kernel.
