There are new xen-4.6.6 rpms for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 in the testing repository on buildlogs.centos.org.
Can we please get some testing of these RPMs and feedback to this list.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Any testing or feedback on these 4.6.6 rpms? It would suck if I was the only tester and they don't work on other hardware AND they get into the release stream.

I have installed the xen-4.6.6 and kernel-4.9.39-29 from testing on a thinkpad t520 with 16GB ram as a test server.
I was able to follow the steps here to create 2 HVM vms (one centos-6, one centos-7):

So it also 'works for me' with intel 64bit CPU.

I now have them on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 (Intel i915 video chipset) with only 4GB of RAM, and they allowed me fire up all of my existing CentOS6 VMs, (one or two at time: after all there's only 4GB of RAM to share around!) without issue.
Better still, I have even been able to run X and use the VNC server capability.
I also have the previous CentOS-virt-6.8 (xen-4.6.3-3) series on a Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H with an AMD A8-6600K CPU (Integrated Radeon HD 8570D), and that's been fine for ages now but I am yet to upgrade that to the virt-6.9 series.
Admittedly (very) old gear, but it (stiil) works for me, Kevin
Sorry, I thought I had sent part of this info before on the xen 4.6.6 testing: 1. Testing shows a depreciated(?) config option that was allowed and now is not: Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: unsupported timer type (name) 'rtc' I ended up dumping the xml and removing the section: <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> </clock> 2. VM BIOS screen not showing. Screen only now shows after the default kernel loads for me.
Thanks PJ
