+<PRE>&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> xen-4.1.0-1.mga1 is now avaliable in the repos.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And as of kernel-2.6.38.2-4.mga1 there has been some cleanups and addons
+</I>&gt;<i> for xen:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> There is now a kernel-xen-pvops that also should work as dom0.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Now this is mostly upstream kenel.org code so its not as fully
+</I>&gt;<i> featured as the old kernel-xen. You can see the features listed here:
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps.">http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps.</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> There is one exception: our 2.6.38 kernel has xen-netback backend driver
+</I>&gt;<i> added.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So those of you that have been using xen, please test atleast the
+</I>&gt;<i> following:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> - check that kernel-server still works as a xen guest
+</I>&gt;<i> - try to use kernel-xen-pvops as dom0 and see how it works
+</I>&gt;<i> (you can also try to use kernel-xen-pvops as a normal xen guest)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Have fun...
+</I>&gt;<i>

+I tried testing on the laptop (i only have laptop, since i'm on holiday),
+however:
+
+i get the XEN messages from hypervisor, but after that, i get a blank
+screen(nvidia chipset), even though it seems that the process goes
+further. (i hear harddisk)
+
+Now i always have trouble with nouveau, and nv seems to have removed my
+9100M from supported devices, and i think i remember that nvidia mentioned
+that their driver doesn't work with xen (that could have been changed)
+
+since i have no other pc here, i cannot test ssh connections.
+
+also, i'm not sure if it IS that, since i should be able to see the kernel
+messages, no? (or is it the dualhead that is confusing xen and it's using
+the external monitor port???)
+
+anyways, after a while ~45secs, the numlock stops working, so i imagine X
+is started and the keyb driver fails?
+
+so i can't really test this kernel as dom0, which was my intention. but
+doesn't it work due to XEN or due to this nvidia chipset???
+
+on top of that, it seems that since the regular kernel update, my tty's
+are now gone, and it seems to be staying in single user mode, even though
+it boots level 5 and starts X.
+
+that means F1 has messages, F7 has some others, and F8 has X, while F2-F6
+no longer work...
