[xenpreview-dev] SLES 9 in SLES10 XEn

[Ky Srinivasan]

Jan,

I did not realize that you were only interested in fully virtualized sles9. FV sles9 is fully supported and we also have para-virtualized drivers for enhanced performance. My comments were with regards to paravirtualized sles9 kernel which is not supported.

Regards,

K. Y
