new-kernel-pkg needs to be made Xen-aware
by Kenneth Porter 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

I ran "yum update" the other day on my dom0 and let it pull a new kernel. The RPM install scriptlet runs /sbin/new-kernel-pkg (part of the grubby package) to update grub.conf. It writes a new record to boot the Linux kernel instead of Xen. It would be nice if it noticed that it was running inside Xen and wrote a suitable record for that.

Hi, Wondering if this is the proper bridging technique to use for Centos6+KVM; http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM Before I embark on this again, I would like to do it by the book. Thanks in advance, - aurf

New 3.10.18 Kernel for Xen4 needs testing
by Johnny Hughes 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

For anyone who is using our Xen4CentOS6 repo, we have created a new kernel from the new LTS 3.10.x kernel tree (to upgrade the current 3.4.x xen kernel) that we hope to roll into the production repo. Please look here and test the kernel, libvirt, and xen files there: http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6-RC1/ That repo should be able to be used for testing or it should be able to update a current xen4centos6 repo as well ... the packages are signed by the testing key and I am currently using them, but YMMV, so be careful. Please also provide feedback (both positive and negative) so we can move these into production. NOTE: after installing a new kernel, please run "/usr/bin/grub-bootxen.sh" ... OR ... manually edit your "/boot/grub/grub.conf" file to boot the new kernel on your dom0 machine. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
