Hi folks,
I would like to test Xen3.3 on CentOS 5.5 on an older machine which is not 64bit capable.
Since this is just a "first impression" test I do not want to fuzz with compiling the kernels and tools myself (that comes in a later step).
Can someone please point me to a repo with 32bit Xen3.3 kernels for CentOS 5? GITCO supplies 64bit kernels only, and googling brought up nothing else.
Thanks for any hint or help.
Do you have a specific reason to use Xen 3.3? The Xen heavily patched Xen 3.1.2 in el5 is pretty solid.
EL5 still uses Xen 3.0.3, 3.1.2 is available in CentOS via centosplus only, right? And there seem to be issues with 3.03 on 3.43 hypervisor.
No, that's wrong.
As a default RHEL5/CentOS5 ships with Xen *hypervisor* version 3.1.2 + a lot of patches from newer Xen versions and from Redhat.
userland Xen tools are based on 3.0.3 + patches. You can easily verify the Xen hypervisor version by running "xm info" or "xm dmesg".

Other than that.. grab the Xen 3.3 src.rpm and rebuild it for your 32bit box.
The I lose all modifications of the RHEL/CentOS kernels. I would like to rebuild the CentOS kernels with Xen 3.3 or 3.4, if possible.
