What is the relationship now between the hypervisor kernel capability version numbers & the software release numbers ? I assume the HV ABI versions should be considered to be decoupled now & they'll stay on a value of 3.0 ? $ cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
