Re: [Xen-users] Kernel for 3.05-testing

Is it possible (and desirable) to build 3.05-rc2 against 2.6.18.8?

There may be problems using the standard set of patches.

I gave it a shot, and this looks like they applied cleanly...

Agreed?

This makes me a bit nervous though:

.config:3113:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol XEN_REBOOT

Is this related perhaps?

Also, is there any reason why 3.05rc2 *doesn't* default to 2.6.18.8?

If not, should I submit a patch?
