Also I think the "i386 Dom0" chapter is out of date.. it is not based on the current patches. "Status update" two weeks ago or so: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-11/msg00205.html "The current dom0 kernel patches can boot up to a fully functional dom0 usersmode, and you can start xend to see that domain 0 is running. I *think* in theory you can create a deviceless domain, but I haven't tried it. I'm currently working on blktap support." So maybe remove both the "i386 dom0" and "x86_64 Dom0" chapters and replace them with something more up to date.. > Pasi, are you saying the status and scope details are obsolete and the > work previously done at redhat (and enumerated on this page) is now done > at xensource?

Afaik "Scope" is based on earlier work by redhat/fedora, and most of that information is now obsolete. Jeremy Fitzhardinge of Xensource is now working on completing Xen pv_ops dom0 support. Afaik it was started from the work done by redhat/fedora. pv_ops dom0 patches posted to lkml by Jeremy Fitzhardinge: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/13/272 > Are the feature owners working on these kernel patches?
