Re-send, now that the list is back up. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] unmodified_drivers for linux-2.4 kernel Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:08:08 -0400 From: Ben Guthro To: Michael Williams CC: xen-devel References: <47FE53F4.4040303@mspacex.net> These patches were originally developed for RHEL3-U8... I'm not sure what the differences are for CentOS5. I'm sure it would take a bit of development to get them working. The guys over at RedHat had said they were planning on releasing a pv-on-hvm driver kit for older RHEL versions...but I'm not sure what the status is on these. However - you are not the first person to inquire about these patches - indicating that there is a real desire to support 2.4 kernels. Keir - you had originally rejected these patches for various reasons. Have any other solutions been proposed that you find more acceptable?
