Bug#516374 Help with Xen kernel



Ok, this bug is fixed in non Xen-specific packages
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516374) , how about
the Xen-specific kernels, how to use a non-xen kernel in 64 xen
servers? How to keep it stable?

There's a lot of people using Xen and Debian, how is the best solution
for a stable (production) kernel? (Xen+Lenny) ? Use the 2.6.32-10-xen
sid kernel in production servers?!?

1) Today
Dom0 - 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
DomU - 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 -> BUG #516374 very unstable

2) Not possible
Dom0 - 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
DomU - 2.6.26-2-amd64 -> Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel',
'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the
generic loader or Linux images')

3) Ok, but no security
Dom0 - 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
DomU - 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 -> OK, etch kernel stable, but no security upgrades.

4) Not 64
Dom0 - 2.6.26-2-xen-686 -> NOT 64 :( , incompatible
DomU - 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem -> OK! , but i want to use 64 servers.


5) Others, sid kernel?, is not unstable? is it secure?


Thank you.
