“Install “kotd” (kernel of the day) via
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.3/x86_64/
kernel-xen-2.6.34.1-0.0.19.40d88ce.x86_64.rpm ( supporting udev
157). Next step supposed to be is to upgrade Xen 4.0 to support
Lucid Grub2 syntax . What,actually, requires just one back port CS
21188 from xen-4.0-testing.hg, which is not in official 4.0 tarball
been used for 11.3. The procedure bellow is pretty much standard
and was described by me in details just to compare how much more
flexible is patching Xen Hypervisor on Fedoras. In particular, all
properly named by version rpms been built from src.rpm gets
installed upgrading old ones right away with no questions and no
additional zypper (yum) install run. One more patch has been tested
with Suse’s 11.3 version of Xen Hypervisor. It was ZFS 24 support
per Mark Johnson ([1]).”
