RE: [Xen-devel] Xen dom0 Kernel Patches

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Through my experience xenified kernel been built on
   # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.27-xen.hg
works  fine under Xen 3.3.1,3.4,3.5-unstable.
However, attempt to shutdown Xen Host causes dropping into stack trace.
Kernel 2.6.29.4 with rebased patches suggested by Andy Lyon allows to
shutdown Xen Host cleanly.

The 2.6.27 git tree and patchqueue under the Xen Client Initiative directory on xenbits is fairly well maintained: http://xenbits.xen.org/XCI/

To my mind this would be a better default tree for us to use for xen-unstable than the ancient 2.6.18. We obviously want to continue to encourage folk to try Jeremy's pvops dom0 stable tree based off the latest linux release too.
