Bug#575015: Please provide extra kernel for xen domU compiled without modules

[Ondrej Kunc <ondra@czol.eu>]

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I've recently installed xen hypervisor and linux-image from unstable, 
because I had problems with stability of lenny's kernel (see #573210). 
All domUs are clean lenny, but kernel from unstable needs modules 
installed in domU filesystem to run so I'had to add unstable 
repositories into domUs. I think that this is not optimal solution (In 
case when you have 10 and more domUs). So I downloaded kernel 
source(2.6.32-10) from kernel.org and configured it to work without 
modules (for running domU you need only xennet and xen I/O drivers). I 
think that in case of further upgrades this will save all problems with 
unmatching modules installed in domU and upgrade could be done only in dom0.

Thanks,
