+The 3.1 release offers excellent performance, hardware support and
enterprise-grade features such as x86_32-PAE, x86_64, SMP guests and
live relocation of VMs. This install tree contains source for a Linux
2.6 guest; ports to Linux 2.4, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris are
/boot/grub/menu.lst: edit this file to include an entry like the

32MB memory for internal use, which is not available for allocation
to virtual machines.

+3. Reboot your system and select the "Xen 3.1 / XenLinux 2.6" menu
option. After booting Xen, Linux will start and your initialisation
scripts should execute in the usual way.
1. Download and untar the source tarball file. This will be a
file named xen-unstable-src.tgz, or xen-$version-src.tgz.
- You can also pull the current version from the SCMS
- that is being used (Bitkeeper, scheduled to change shortly).
+ You can also pull the current version from the mercurial
+ repository at http://xenbits.xensource.com/
# tar xzf xen-unstable-src.tgz
Depending on your config, you may need to use 'mkinitrd' to create
an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
- # depmod 2.6.16-xen
- # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen
+ # depmod 2.6.18-xen
+ # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
+
+ Other systems may requires the use of 'mkinitramfs' to create the
+ ram disk.
+ # depmod 2.6.18-xen
+ # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
