Did u find kernel 2.6.31.6+paravirt_ops dom0 and Xen = 3.4.2 I guess stable enough?
I did found some issues with domain restore, but indeed this seems lik= e the best virtualization systems.

Can you please update xen.git to have a branch based off
stabl= e/linux-2.6.32.y.git ? Right now it's still a stable .31.6 and mainline=
.32-rc5 in there, so we're missing a couple of months worth of bug = fixes.

Since this kernel is going to enter so many stable distribution release= s,
it would really be a good idea to get that exact combination widely t= ested
'in the wild'.

I'm asking particularly because = the current Debian dom0 kernel (based on
.18 patches forward-ported onto .26) turned out to have a major regression<= br>issue described in http://bugs.debian.org/534880 that didn't even get
report= ed until months after the release. Perhaps this particular bug is
specific to the old branch, but then the new paravirt_ops branch may havesome other, newer bugs of its own, so it makes sense to encourage widespr= ead
testing as soon as possible.

My own 2.6.31.6+paravirt_ops dom= 0 test machine is still working great after
several months, so I'm optimistic. Thanks for all the hard work that ma= de it
happen.
