Re: [Xen-devel] How to compile a module for dom0 or domU kernel?

["Anand Gupta" <xen.mails@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a method which i can use to compile a raid card driver inside the dom0 kernel ? I have been trying to get centos5 bundled xen working on a quad core dual xeon 1.86 where the hard drivers are running raid 1 on a hardware raid card (areca). To be able to boot up, i need to compile the areca drivers inside the kernel. When i go to /usr/src/kernel source, and try to issue a make oldconfig, it works, however next make command gives errors.

Any ideas on how it can be resolved ?

Did you use different vmlinuxs between dom0 and domU?
If using the same vmlinux, you can compile it on dom0 with the same way as linux.
For example, like the below.
"make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` V=1 modules"

If no, I think you should be able to use like the below.
"make -C /home/hoge/xen-unstable.hg/build-linux-2.6.18-xenU_ia64 M=`pwd` V=1
modules"
