[kernel-xen] kernel-xen-3.9.7-1 packages available - TESTERS REQUIRED!

[Steven Haigh]

Hi all,

kernel-xen-3.9.7-1 marks the first package with scripting to 
automatically configure Xen in /etc/grub.conf.

We look through /etc/grub.conf to see if there is an existing xen.gz 
line - if so, we use the same line for the new kernel. If not, I use a 
semi-sane set of defaults.

We look for the specific vmlinuz and initramfs lines, then substitute 
the text for kernel -> module and initrd -> module. This means the 
generated grub.conf stanza looks something like this:

title Scientific Linux (3.9.7-1.el6xen.x86_64)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=1024M cpufreq=xen dom0_max_vcpus=1 
dom0_vcpus_pin
         module /vmlinuz-3.9.7-1.el6xen.x86_64 ro 
root=/dev/vg_raid1/xenhost rd_LVM_LV=vg_raid1/xenhost 
rd_MD_UUID=afb92c19:b9b1e3ae:07af315d:738e38be rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_DM 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us 
crashmodule=auto quiet panic=5
         module /initramfs-3.9.7-1.el6xen.x86_64.img

Testing is appreciated. You should check your grub.conf for correctness 
before rebooting.
