Re: Paravirtualization

On Linux-2.6.30.5, if I turn on paravirtualization in ".config" and build the kernel, the new kernel boots okay. However, many programs seg-fault. For instance, it is impossible to rebuild the kernel without rebooting to another Linux version. Is this a known problem?

I have attached some configuration information.

Cheers,
