So far I know you can run Lenny as a dom0, but not with the Lenny
kernel. You can e.g. use the Etch Xen kernel or the Xensource kernel,
both Linux 2.6.18.
It's expected that a dom0 will be included in Linux 2.6.28 or 29, after
some time there will be such a kernel for Lenny.
And this will get security support when "lenny-and-a-half" is released.
( but, I must say: I have tried to upgrade my 64-bit Etch dom0 to Lenny,
but it still does not work at the moment )
With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

thats not what I understand as "dom0 support in lenny". I'm looking for
security support also for the kernel. I guess even if it's planed to release
lenny+1/2 with a dom0 kernel, we have the chance to have 2 pita:
* there will no dom0 support from upstream available in reasonable time
* security support for dom0 etch kernel packages ends without a replacement
available
With kind regards, Jan.

I was just refering Message-ID: <slrng7shs0.36d.jmm@inutil.org>, didn't
verify it.

You can monitor these pages for dom0 related info:
dom0 (and other pv_ops) patches:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/paravirt_ops/patches.hg/
General information/progress about pv_ops upstream Xen kernel:

What about
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/x86_64/2.6.26/kernel-
source-2.6.26-HEAD_20080808143035.src.rpm ?

I upgraded a dom0 I maintain to Lenny, the kernel got upgraded and I had
of course a boot failure when trying to boot Xen 3.2 and linux 2.6.26.
I'm not really sure about the reason since it is a remotely hosted box,
but I had to go back to 2.6.18.

http://194.39.182.225/debian/xen/ contains packages using most of the
xen parts. http://194.39.182.225/linux/git/2.6.26-xen-suse includes the
patches.

Yes, this will happen as there's no official dom0 support for kernels
which are newer than 2.6.18 coming from XenSource. Etch had a kernel
which had dom0 support as it was based exactly on 2.6.18.
We are discussing exactly this subject here. The distros which wants
to have a working dom0 support would need to do one more forward-porting
work so dom0 support would be available on later kernels (2.6.26, por
example).
It seems that SuSE did the work fot 2.6.26. The idea is to use a
paravirt_ops based kernel in the future, possibly starting on Lenny+1/2,
which would support dom0 natively without the need of a
non-official/non-supported forward-port.
Regards,

Yeah, I realized that. My goal with my email was to actually say that
the system does work correctly after the upgrade, even if the kernel is
'outdated', but I just noticed that I failed to mention that hehe. So
here it is.
