Patches against which kernel?


This would be any kprobe related patch after the corresponding xen files was cloned (and mutated) from the original kernel file.

As far as what redhat is currently using. Looking at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/

Currently generates the xen kernels from:
kernel-xen-2.6.12-1.13_FC5.src.rpm

The base kernels are generated from:

kernel-2.6.14-1.1735_FC5.src.rpm

I should add there is work to sync those up so kernel-xen uses patches on the same version of the kernel being used for base kernel.
