Hi folks,
I've had to remove support for Gentoo because I don't know how to
compile a kernel in Gentoo that has Xen support; I'm not a Gentoo
user and am not willing/able to put the time in at the moment to
learn that. Hardly anyone wants Gentoo[1] so it's hard to justify.
This doesn't mean that you can't install Gentoo. There are still
some customers at BitFolk using Gentoo, and I find it hard to
believe that you can't compile a Xen kernel "the Gentoo way", I just
don't personally know how. I'm not willing to call Gentoo supported
when the only way I know to get it going is to copy in a kernel and
initrd from elsewhere.
If you know better and are willing to write a wiki article[2] giving
step by step instructions on how to compile a Xen kernel "the Gentoo
way" then firstly, some other customers would be very happy, because
they don't seem to know either; and secondly, I'd appreciate that
a lot too because I'll feel comfortable offering Gentoo as a
supported option again.
If the article is of good quality I may also be convinced to give
you some service credit.
Cheers,
Andy
