Re: maintenance of kvm and qemu in extras

["Michael Schenck" <limeschenck@xxxxxxxxx>]

For clarification,  your statement "we currently use userspace from 72 and kmod from 71" pertains to use with the current centos kernel (2.6.18-92), correct?  Also, which version of qemu are you using?

read my mails in kvm list:-)
anyway in short or setup at the end.
guest:
- mandrake-10 can't boot since 72
- centos x86_64 can't boot on 78,79
- fedora-9 can't boot with kernel-2.6.27.x in 77,78,79
- pxe boot not working long ago (at least 69)
we currently use userspace from 72 and kmod from 71 this was the last
usable combination. at a new release i always try to boot these guests
and looking for any new version which will boot all and i immediately
stop building new kmods and stay at that version.
there was a promise for a new stable version for 2.6.28.
imho the bast for wait for that.
