No Xen in Gutsy :(

As detail in my previous post I am upgrading and installing Xen on one of my servers to replace a dodgy one. However I got stuck earlier in the week because Xen is currently broken in the latest version of Ubuntu ( 7.10 or Gutsy). See this bug 161783 on launchpad for details of the problem. So far nobody in Ubuntu seems to have noticed the bug so I don’t know when it’ll be fixed, hopefully in the next few days.

I had a little play about bypassing it but I really don’t want to hack libc since that’ll completely kill the box if I make a mistake.

Another separate thing I noticed this week is that since I don’t watch any TV ( I watch TV programmes but not broadcast TV ) I don’t have any idea what the latest cool ads are (at least not the New Zealand ones). Perhaps somebody could create a simple system where I can watch the “hot” ads that I currently miss on TV. Like the “Mr T” one that I’ve been hearing about.
