Couple questions regarding these kernels... should they be run on the host or on the guest? And I see they are in -testing right now, and also in "tru's" home directory. Where is the authoritative source for them and will they end up in centosplus at some point?
We (Tru Huynh actually, with help from Akemi Yagi and Fabian Arrotin) created them. There is no Authoritative source (except us :D), the SRPMS are available from the current locations now. They are the EL kernel with the clock freq set to 100HZ instead of 1000HZ ... which is pretty much required to get any kind of performance inside of VMware VMs.
And if you are interested in how the -vm kernel was born and what the current status of development is, take a look at:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189
I would also like to encourage people to join in the effort and contribute to that bug tracker with new findings, test results, etc.
