Hello,<br>
<br>
RHEL 5.5 has been released, and it contains many Xen related fixes.<br>
<br>
Here's the most important of the them.. fixing a dom0 caching bug which<br>
could cause domU disk corruption when the domU disk was accessed from dom0<br>
after the domU was shutdown. Most people noticed this bug when pygrub<br>
used wrong (cached) information.<br>
<br>
"pygrub uses cached and eventually outdated grub.conf, kernel and initrd":<br>

Now they have two problems.<br> </div></div><br>
