Hi


I am having toubles bluiding openafs inside a virtual machine.

1. The kernel headers inside the xen-3.0.0/linux-2.6.12-xenU tree are
not good. So the ./configure works, but the build fails with:

/root/openafs-1.4.0/src/afs/LINUX/osi_machdep.h:55:2: #error Not sure
what to do about rlim (should be in the Linux task struct somewhere....)

2. Forcing the ./configure agains linux-kernel-2.6.12 (not xen's)
headers, I get the build to finish just nice, but them insmod returns:

insmod: error inserting './src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.12.6-MP/libafs.ko': -1
Invalid module format

3. I have sucessfully buil the module inside the dom0 (using xen source
kernel headers) and loaded it OK, also.

Does someone know if this is expected?
Xen kernel headers are much diferent from the original ones?
How far can they be replaced by other headers?
How to build something that is not xen aware, thus is expecting normal
kernel headers?

Thanks for your time

Regards
