I tried the ebuilds and result is:
xen 3.0.3 - no problem
xen-sources 3.0.3 - no problem
xen-tools 3.0.3 - big problems...
I think the ebuild is not complete because after qmerging xent-tools there are not xm and xed command in /usr/sbin etc.
Running /etc/init.d/xend start produced "unknown command"
After I copied commands from xentools to appropriate folders than xend is trying to start but produce new error:
BLKTAPCTRL: Found driver: [raw image (aio)]
BLKTAPCTRL: Found driver: [raw image (sync)]
BLKTAPCTRL: Found driver: [vmware image (vmdk)]
BLKTAPCTRL: Found driver: [ramdisk image (ram)]
BLKTAPCTRL: Found driver: [raw image (qcow)]
BLKTAPCTRL: Unable to start blktapctrl
Any idea? |

Hmmm... looking at that bug log gives me good information on why 3.0.3 hasn't hit portage yet. Which is a bit rough because there are some nice changes in 3.0.3, but since the 3.0.3 release was late I'm not surprised to see it take longer to get into portage.
| Quote: | This release includes many new features as well as enhanced
stability and performance. Some highlights include:
- a new easy-to-use CPU scheduler which includes weights, caps, and automatic SMP load-balancing;
- support for Xen-oprofile to allow measurement and optimization of code paths;
- greatly enhanced support for unmodified ("hvm") guests including Windows and legacy Linux operating systems;
- support for dynamic-allocation and copy-on-write disks ("blktap/qcow");
- packet segmentation offload in guests to improve network performance;
- enhanced support for IA64 (IPF) systems; and initial support for Power. |
Ah well, I see that they're still working on it so I guess I'll go ahead an roll out box #3 on 3.0.2 and do the tcp checksum workaround. |
