It seems that Ubuntu 8.04 shipped with a 2.6.24 domU. So Ubuntu is the only distro shipping a dom0 based on Linux >> 2.6.18? How did they achieve this? :-) > > What are the plans for Xen for lenny?

The problem I see with that is that people will be left without a supported dom0 kernel at some point during the etch lifetime. Do we have a plan to address that? Shouldn't we make it clear that we will support the etch kernel until a lenny+1/2 kernel is available, for example? Also, can you use the Xen 3.2 features with the etch kernel, or are you somehow limited? Wouldn't it be a good idea to ship a linux 2.6.18 kernel in lenny, only for dom0, so it's clear that it is supported?
