Hello all,

I need to port a 2.6.2 kernel to the Xen architecture, since there aren't
any patches or sparse tree for kernels below 2.6.9 I'd like to know why ?
And also wether that endeavor has been attempted before?

In any case pointers, Help, Advice would be greatly useful. I would like
to end up with something like linux-2.6.2-xen-sparse.

Please Help

It would very likely be easier to forward port, or otherwise fix whatever issues are preventing you from running a recent kernel than it would be to back port xen to something so old. Also, should you really be comfortable running a kernel that has many known bugs and security vulnerabilities that have been fixed in the last 14 months?
