Hi Keir,

   Does this imply that xen-unstable.hg is out of freeze mode or will
xen-unstable.hg get pulled into the new testing tree again before
release?  Thanks,

Same as 3.0.3 - there'll be at least one more sweep through.

I really want to get 3.0.4 out next week, so we really do need people
testing the bits!

Hi!

I installed 3.0.4-testing.hg inside a VMware GSX virtual machine running
Debian 3.1 sarge x86 32bit. 

3.0.3 worked fine in the same box.

3.0.4-rc1 gives me this:

$ xm list
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 8, in ?
    from xen.xm import main
  File "/root/stuff/xen/xen-3.0.4-testing.hg/dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 48, in ?
    from xen.util import security
  File "/root/stuff/xen/xen-3.0.4-testing.hg/dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen/util/security.py", line 25, in ?
    from xen.lowlevel import acm
ImportError: libxenctrl.so.3.0: cannot handle TLS data

I don't have /lib/tls directory (it's renamed). 

Any ideas?

Libxenctrl now needs TLS, so you need to use a glibc that supports TLS but
is compiled with nonegseg or understands the kernel hint. We'll investigate
providing a suitable glibc package for debian stable for the 3.0.4 release.

OK, thanks for the information! This should be mentioned in the release
notes / readme / faq for 3.0.4.
