Re: Xen in AMD64

["niko" <niko@ornia.hampshire.edu>]

I run Debian Sid compiled for amd64 with kernel version 2.6.22-1.  Pepo 
with respect to your questions about the Xen hypervisor, there are 
hypervisor packages compiled for amd64 in both Etch and Sid, but not 
Lenny.  Unfortunately, to further complicate things, it seems that the 
only branch which has an actual precompiled Xen kernel is Etch.

This is quite frustrating seeing as if any Lenny or Sid users want to 
run Debian as either a dom0 or domU guest and not have to compile 
anything manually, they must revert back to the Etch 2.6.18 kernel.  If 
anyone could shed some light on why the Xen kernel images were dropped 
from all but Etch, that would be great.  I'd like to run Debian as a 
dom0 host OS on my workstation, and it would be nice if there were Xen 
kernel packages available that have been made more recently than Etch's 
2.6.18.
