xen build for testing

[M A Young]

I have done a temporary test build xen-4.1.2-1.1 at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3495905
which contains patches from
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00218.html
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00321.html

which I would like to test before putting them into a released version. 
If anyone else wants to test it, please let me know whether it works.

Great! You're really quick. I was going to suggest both of those :) 
I'll be able to test those later this week.. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Besides the '-a' missing thing it works fine for me.

Tested with F16 LiveCD.

And just to verify I assume you had:

xen_platform_pci=0

so you got the actual realtek nic in the vm?

Did not need to.The LiveCD does not load the xen_platform driver so there is
no swap-over to PV. Everything is running in HVM.

Yup: RTL8139.

Noted this during the upgrade:
  Updating   : xen-hypervisor-4.1.2-1.1.fc16.x86_64
3/12
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3dxNvP: line 1: [: too many arguments

postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 0 -f /sbin/grub2-mkconfig -a -f /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ]; then
  /sbin/grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
fi

Missing a "-a" in there, me thinks. :-)

Thanks for spotting that. It should be fixed in 4.1.2-1.2.fc16 at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3498381
which makes this and other script changes, though the main code is the 
same as the last one.

I just tried these 4.1.2-1.2.fc16 rpms on fedora 16,
and they seem to fix the emulated realtek nic problems.

There's an updated version of the second patch in here:
http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg01257.ht...
and http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/staging/xen-4.1-testing.hg/rev/5a00ccfc6391

It fixes a bug with Linux 2.6.32 dom0 kernels.

I have put the revised patch in 4.1.2-2 with other fixes and changes. It 
is available via koji 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=275077
and I will push it to updates-testing once I have done a bit of testing.
