You can easily switch to it by doing: $ cd linux-2.6-pvops.git $ git checkout xen/stable-2.6.32.x $ git pull and rebuild. It will probably ask you some config questions to update your config for the new kernel; choose the defaults unless there's something you specifically want to change. Use "git pull" to update subsequently. J
