[ovs-discuss] Problem while installing Openvswitch on XenServer 5.6 FP1

[Ramana Reddy]

Now, I verified and found that XenServer Kernel version
(2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.323.170596xen ) is different from
DDK Kernel version (2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.314.170588xen). Hope it will
solve my problem.

Thanks,
Ramana Reddy.
