Re: [Xen-devel] error on booting XenLinux
An update on my kernel config issues....
I copied the xen distro 2.6.7 Xen0 default config over and started
enabling all of the options that come set in the debian kernel in order
to acheive a complete port of the standard debian kernel config to xen.
So far I have not run into the config option that caused the console
issues. I'm fairly certain that with a bit of testing I can track down
what triggered the console disapearance issues.
And for the info on the debification of Xen and XenLinux kernels...
I'm cleaning up the Makefile for XenLinux-Build script set for a release
soon. The intent of this script set is make it easier to create tarball
and/or deb (if you want RH, someone will have to port it to support
rpms) packages of the resulting XenLinux kernels.
Right now it only creates tarballs, alows you to specify config files to
build from, applies the debified kernel patch of xen-sparse, and allows
for easy configuration of a XenLinux kernel from multiple config
targets, and creates tarballs of the kernel and modules.
I anticipate having the last few glitches in the debian Xen packages
cleaned out in 48 to 72 hours. If anyone wants bleeding edge, please let
me know and i"ll send you the URL to the deb files. If you aren't
familiar with debian packaging, xen dependancies, etc, don't bother
asking for them. As I said, they are highly unstable. 8-P
Anyways, back to getting this packaging system cleaned up better. :)
