@Fabio, xen kernels are not provided as part of the normal ClearOS build - I alos have no experience in this area. To build your own you'll need the src.rpm, and to follow the instructions here

Clearos build have 2.6.18 kernel xen package (upstream + old xen patch), 2.6.32 have full xen domU support integrated in upstream, not need patch add but only config add, i have try your kernel 2.6.32 but not have domU support active, i try to rebuild with only this change on config, should function as the kernel of debian and derivatives that are already standard with active support domU, this config change is based on linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem_2.6.32-31_i386.deb from Squeeze:

i not found kernel in src in your repository, i take kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.32.26-175.timb1.i686.rpm, unzipped, do change on .config, installed some necessary package (yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel rpm-build) and try to build with command of your first post (rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -i` --with baseonly --without debuginfo kernel.spec 2>builderr.log | tee buildout.log) but kernel.spec is missed, where i can found it please?

Follow the instructions in the link above, setup a build environment as per instructions here
www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/p..._an_rpm_-_the_basics

You'll need to build from the SPEC file which is contained in the kernel-X.src.rpm. You can't rebuild from a binary RPM. You can find the src.rpm for my kernel here
ftp://timburgess.net/repo/clearos/5.2/so...26-175.timb1.src.rpm

Thanks i have do...
modified file config-x86-generic with add at the end:

do build:
rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 --without debuginfo /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec 2>builderr.log | tee buildout.log

installed kernel i686-PAE
-------------------------------------------
do this after install (only if xen domU)
vi /etc/modprobe.conf #comment all line about old xen modules
vi /etc/inittab #xvc0 with hvc0
vi /etc/securetty #xvc0 with hvc0
-------------------------------------------
and all is perfect working except problem on shutdown with more then 1 vcpus solved in 2.6.32.27 (this is based on 2.6.32.26)

apparently TX is having massive issues with weather:




there goes my hopes of having my wlan setup tonight :'(

Hi Andy, Looks like your path is wrong?

@Herm, the newer kernel does not work with L7 protocol filter, it will cause the firewall to fail.

Will this still be the case with the release of Enterprise 6.0?

I love the L7 protocol filter, but I would love to utilize more RAM, ClearOS was screaming with 32GB of RAM

No because they (ClearFoundation) will have developed the L7 filter / firewall implementation for the 6.0 kernel. I believe ClearOS Enterprise 6.0 will be based on a kernel of 2.6.32-xxx

My kernel upgrade hack for 5.2 was just that...a bit of a hack. To implement the netfilter naming changes, and incompatibility with iptables would of required me to rewrite the way the firewall works

Hello After updating the Kernel Version 2.6.32.26-175.timb1.i686.PAE (SMP) the error appears: Error: / etc / rc.d / firewall.lua: 3659: Unable to commit: mangle: Unknown error 4294967295. How to deal with it.

Hi, this usually occurs if you have the protocol filter enabled?
