Re: [Debian-User] Xen Debian Package Management

Michelle
The subject matter is mine but the content is some else's. I did not write what you quoted. Probably, the original email trail was missing. I know that Xen development is far further along than Xen 2. I have a copy of the original email if you want to see it -- just ask. The original email from me was addressing what current Xen 3 versions (packages) on Debian matched up to what architectures on Debian. A response was received which indicated that there were incompatibilities and that the problem of incompatibilities was known and was being worked on. One solution using AMD64 was offered to me. At that point I considered the email issue concluded until you came along..
I cannot accout for what others say or do.. But I see you went to a lot of trouble to be informative. All of which shows you like to be helpful. 

You also have a nice day.

The only problem is, that my MAIN server and my Devel-Station went
working fine with the k7 images but now all is gone since the last
update (no K7 any more and k6 loads but then it is stoping with
nothing or a Kernel-Oops).

The GRUB does definitivly not work on my Mainboards and the alternative
bootloaders have some other flaws (some of them can rescue boot but
passing parameters wrong to the kernel)

Then, I have tried to compile K7 Xen-Kernels but the xen/ subdirectory
from the kernel is missing and "apt-cache search" show nothing.

In summary:  Debian and Xen is frustrating!
