[Qemu-devel] Kernel mess

[Qemu-devel] Kernel mess

[admin]

On fedora 8, every time yum does an update it replaces my NON-xen kernel 
with a XEN enabled kernel, which immediately makes kqemu inoperative.

It seems to become impossible to find stock kernels these days on Fedora 
which is NOT xen.

Does anyone have a clear solution (short of recompiling the kernel to 
exclude XEN) to make sure that a nonm-xen kernel is always used?

You likely have the wrong kernel listed in /etc/sysconfig/kernel

The default kernel is *not* Xen - you must have changed your config to
prefer xen, or selected a Xen kernel when initially installing

This is the wrong mailing list for Fedora questions - you'll get more
assistance on the Fedora user's list

I can install any kernel I want uninstall all ZEN packages plus kernels, 
but when the yum update comes around, Xen it is again.
Fedora usergroup cannot help, I tried that.
The stock kernel is XEN on all my rackservers.

e.g
~]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.23.17-88.fc7 (mockbuild@xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com) 
(gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)) #1 SMP Thu May 15 
00:35:10 EDT 2008

This is going to become more and more nagging for users as kqemu will be 
always disabled and performance will sag.

Whatever happened to the qemu usergroup.?
About 6 months ago it was just a lot of spam, that is why I subscribed 
to the developers group.
Maybe if you clean up the usergroup, I dont have to post here otr is 
this the only qemu group.?
