Yes, I followed those instruction (or at least I believe I did). It is
however not specific as to which kernel version from the "tip.git" to
use as base for applying the patches. I mean, that is not really my
problem, I got everything applied and have a compiling kernel. It just
doesn't boot (or at least doesn't get as far as for instance Pasi and
his experiments).
Actually, I am not really interested in getting a working kernel (I know
that there are still some pieces missing), so this is purely academical
and for testing. Since the patches are supposed to be merged soon (at
least I got the impression that was the plan) I though I was going to
join the testing effort. And at this point they are supposed to sort of
work on any bleeding edge kernel, right? So I took one.
I could have gone back in the history and take something around
2.6.28-rc8 (which seemed to have worked for others), but then they were
using x86_32 and I am testing x86_64, if I see correctly. So my
question was mostly if this had seen some testing at all, is supposed to
work, and if it is, did I miss something. In any case, this is the
result of my testing. :-)
I also forward-ported a few things to the latest version a few hours
ago, including some changes in xen-iommu.c to follow the dma_ops merging
thing in the tip head.
I managed to get the native XEN port for 2.6.27 from the other hg
booting on my notebook, I'll try to see if my pvops kernel works as
DomU.
Cheers,
Christophe
