 With initial testing seems to work OK for me!
 Meanwhile upstream kernel is up to v4.9.161, so let's update the
 sig-virt kernel to that version..

 Karl: Can you prepare a PR?

 Thanks,

I built 4.9.161, works for me on el6:

Nice!

[root@node-tmp1 ~]# cat /proc/version Linux version 4.9.161-34.el6.x86_64 ([5]mockbuild@build.aerisnetwork.net) (gcc version 7.3.1 20180303 (Red Hat 7.3.1-5) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Feb 27 09:48:40 EST 2019 Only one strange thing, I had to run grub-install because Grub couldn't find root device after reboot, not sure this has something to do with the kernel upgrade. Kernel 4.9.161 doesn't have the patch for CVE-2019-8912 yet so we might wait until it get released. I updated my PR: [6]https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen-kernel/pull/18 [7]https://repo.aerisnetwork.com/archive/kernel-4.9.161-34.el6.x86_64.rpm [8]https://repo.aerisnetwork.com/archive/kernel-4.9.161-34.el7.x86_64.rpm

I'll give it a go soon.

Anthony Perard already tried to build my PR on the CBS but he was not able to enable the SCL repo ([9]http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/sclo/$basearch/rh/) to get devtoolset-7. We might need to get help from centos-devel.

Karl

OK. Something to discuss on #centos-devel perhaps?

Thanks a lot!
