Xen3 on CentOS4

First the link : http://www.karan.org/mock/Xen/

Now, thats the Xen3 setup pkgs for CentOS4/i386, with the lastest Glibc from CentOS4.2 built with the changes required for Xen to work properly. The Kernel version is NOT an EL kernel. its 2.6.12-xen3, which is a XenSource.Com supplied kernel.

There is actually a rpm-Metadata repo ( which would work with yum 2.2/ 2.4 and smartpm ), at http://www.karan.org/mock/Xen/i386/ that you can write a .repo file for ( in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ).

Couple of things :

1. Michael Best and Ignacio, are working on the Xen kernel rpms to see if we can get the Xen specific stuff ported into the CentOS 2.6.9- Kernel series ( so if you are someone at Xensource or know more info about this, please let one of us know !! )

2. There might be some dependances that you need to install from http://centos.karan.org/ - python-twisted is one of them.

3. The same kernel can be used to run Host and Guest, you dont need different kernels anymore.

4. If you dont know what Xen is, start reading here

5. if you get a conflict with : lksctp-tools, just remove that package with a rpm -e lksctp-tools

Enjoy,

While I stick around *coughing* my insides out. Yes, another winter, another round of my every-winter-throat-issues...

You _should_ read the info at http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/docs/xen3_rpm_install_notes.html
