Re: [Xen-users] Getting frustrated with Xen

I'm back after being unsubscribed after a month or so, and I have to

really need to?
It seems like there are some unrealistic expectations. I have been
doing Linux since the 45-floppy disk days, and I wouldn't try to install
Xen from source unless I really had to for some reason. Also it has
been my impression Xen 3.0 is intended as beta-quality software and not
pretending to be anything different, but for some reason, some people
seem to have a very different impression and expectations to go along
with it.
I think it is purely the nature of the development cycle and where Xen
3.0 is at in its evolution and not some kind of deficiency or flaw,
right now it's just not something to get into if you don't have a high
tolerance for frustration.
gotten to this point. For example, an error early on (not currently in
front of me :-) about missing file during boot could be a fairly
common problem referencing xen files with "/boot" in grub.conf - do
other previous entries have it? No - grub these days typically
references the /boot partition directly, so the context is
/filename....
I posted a message that pointed that out, but no one replied, so I don't
know if anybody noticed. I barely have time to read the mailing list.
If someone has a bad attitude, I am more likely to just skip it.
