Actually, the xen patches are several months old. The Plan 9 kernel is from June. Is it dependent on the version of xen I use? I think the one that I'm running is 2.0.4. >anyway, let me know if you are on an old version -- I had a bug in the >idle code, or a misunderstanding really -- and I did fix that. Fix is on >sources. The kernel images appear to be the same ones I have and the source files seem to be at least as old as what I have. This is the stuff in /n/sources/xen, right? >That said, Xen does NOT do ACPI. Xen 2.0 laptops run hot. This is fixed in >3.0, I think. I'm looking forward to that. At that point, I'll probably be able to justify booting into xen/Linux/Plan9 all the time. Do you have any inside knowledge on when 3.0 is likely to see the light of day? Thanks, BLS
