what's the difference between 2.6.18-53.el5xen and 2.6.18-53.el5 ?

Hi ,

What is the difference between RedHat kernel version 2.6.18-53.el5xen and 2.6.18-53.el5 ?

Kernel 2.6.18-53.el5 is in the SupportMatrix list but 2.6.18-53.el5xen is not.Are they the same ?

Thanks!

el5xen kernel has added modules/packages to support Xen virtualization, it might still work but EMC has not qualified it. If you must use this kernel you may contact your TC and request an RPQ.

Have a look here:

Xen used to be a free virtualization tool. A Xen kernel adds support to xen. I guess they are almost (unfortunatly only almost) the same.
