Xen Kernel

Hello,

Previous version of Arch used to contain xen kernel in the repos, however, with the latest version this is no longer the case. Can somebody give an idea how to install Xen (wiki article I guess is still valid?), or I should go with manual compilation? I am running 2.6.27.

Thanks!

Re: Xen Kernel

Hey,

Indeed, there needs work to be done on Xen in the repositories. I am using Arch Linux since a month and I like it very much but Virtualization Support
for the moment is a bit incomplete. As soon as I learn how to build packages the correct way, I´ll update what I can....
(I prefer Xen and OpenVZ over VMWare. VMWare Player and VirtualBox are not really suited for server/heavier tasks ;-)
