Thats unlucky... 2.6.32 is a bit of a lost cause these days...
Jeremy used to maintain a xen dom0 kernel source for 2.6.32, but
he hadn't updated it in many months.
<br>
<br>
From what I recall, vanilla 2.6.32 does not support half the
features - and I'm stretching my memory now - but it may not even
support running out of the box as a Dom0.
<br>
<br>
The main reason I've moved on to 3.x is the lack of updates /
security fixes and the lack of patches for 2.6.32. All the
development and updates are now happening on the 3.x branch.

Ellison in case it help you advocate for one of the newer 3.x
releases the following may help...<br>

change is not like the 2.4-2.6 change which included a significant
redesign of lots of core things<br>

bullet, and call the next version 3.0," he wrote in a <a

reason is just that I can no longe rcomfortably count as high as
40." <br>

that are being used by various distributions. latest on that at
