Description

updated and fixed. Needs tech review Don Dutile can you review this please? All architectures: i686 & x86_64 have the same minimum guest operating system version. *BUT*, this section now brings to light another issue: RHEL4.7 has the xen pv-on-hvm drivers built into the kernel package. RHEL5.3 has the xen pv-on-hvm drivers built into the kernel package. so the kmod-xenpv package is no longer needed in RHEL4 in 4.7 & beyond and the same goes for RHEL5 in 5.3 & beyond. This should be noted in this section. Just verifying my work as I'm getting tired and worried about the accuracy of this update. <important><title>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 and 5.3 and newer</title><para> All version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux from 4.7 and 5.3 have the kernel module for the para-virtualized drivers, the <systemitem>pv-on-hvm</systemitem> module, in the default kernel package. That means the para-virtualized drivers are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 and newer or 5.3 and newer guests.</para></important> Would that satisfy the note for the section? I would slightly clarify it this way:
<important><title>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 and 5.3 and newer</title><para>
All versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux from 4.7 and 5.3 have the kernel
modules for the Xen para-virtualized drivers, the <systemitem>pv-on-hvm</systemitem>
modules, in the default kernel package. That means the para-virtualized drivers
are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 and newer or 5.3 and newer
guests without adding the asynchronous kmod-xenpv package.</para></important>
