I finally got the compilation done and copied the kernel and init image for use for domU for 32bit OS.

When i try to use the kernel i get an error "Error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')"

Here is the extract from xend.log,

error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

This probably would mean that the kernel compiled is a non xen kernel ? (Please correct me if i am wrong)

I used the following to compile the kernel (after i used setarch linux32 bash)

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xen-build

I then copied the dist/install/lib/modules to /lib/modules and then used depmod and mkinitrd to create the initrd image. Moved the kernel from dist/install/boot to /home where i call them from inside the config files.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve the above problem ?
