Is anyone working on porting the xensource-provided RHEL3 and RHEL4 Xen kernels to centOS? I've been poking the xensource-provided kernels, and they seem to work okay (though only on i686 platforms- I haven't gotten 'em to compile on x86_64) on my client's RHEL systems.
Feel free to submit a patch :)
I'm working on the x86_64 bit, but nobody here is particularly good with rpm, (and all of the RPM types I know are waay out of my price range) so I'm begging for free help instead :) Also, I'm a bit unsure as to what exactly has to be removed/changed to make it a CentOS kernel.
(Is there a framework in place for CentOS-specific bounties? I don't have a lot of money to blow, but sometimes even small amounts can help encourage people.)
I host a bunch of CentOS Xen DomUs, so it would be really cool if I could re-use the "poke at the RHEL kernels" work for those CentOS domains as well- but from what I understand, I'm not supposed to just re-distribute the RHEL stuff without stripping out some stuff.
Are you talking about RHELkernels or Xen supplied kernels that work for RHEL ?
Xen supplied kernels that apply the RHEL patches.
