Description

Unlike Xen, KVM is a part of the standard Linux kernel tree, and as such is shipped as part of the main kernel package. Separate kernel module RPMs are no longer permitted in Fedora, so KVM kernel modules are synced to whatever is in the kernel RPM. While in theory we could update the userspace, and not the kenrel space, this is a untested combination and undesirable unless there's a serious concrete problem it solves. So no KVM updates are planned until next kernel release (2.6.24) appears in an F8 update. |
