Aron,
Thanks you for detail. Seems very clear now. I have the same question
with Akio. Which Cset for xen and xenLinux is using for debug? Are they
compatible?
Thanks & Best Regards

>
> http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora

> Third, how to contribute:

> If you prefer to work with raw xen and kernel sources instead of
> the rpm, do this first to get the kernel configs:
> hg clone http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/kernel-cvs-ia64
> cd kernel-cvs-ia64/devel
> make configs
>
> That generates these files, which you can use in a kernel tree
> with oldconfig:
> kernel-2.6.17-ia64.config
> kernel-2.6.17-ia64-xen.config
>
> Next get the kernel to work on:
> hg clone http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/linux-2.6-xen-fedora-ia64
>
> Send your patches to me and cc fedora-xen and xen-ia64-devel.
> To know what hypervisor changeset to use, check the spec file:
> cd kernel-cvs-ia64/devel
> grep -m1 xen_hv_cset kernel-2.6.spec
>
> Thanks,
> Aron
