[Xen-users] Fedora Core 3 + Xen-unstable

[Joe.Hoot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

Here is what I have right now.  I've
played with xen a little bit.  Last week I was able to do the following:

1) Install Fedora Core 4 Test 1 on an
Intel PIII system with a gig a ram in it.
2) Run yum update on the devel repositories
3) I found that I was having a little
difficulty finding kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU to get pulled from the mirror
list of yum repositories off of fedora's site.
4) I finally found that Fedora's download
server had it in the development section.  I pointed my yum repositories
to fedora's site and was able to install the kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU
packages.  
5) I rebooted and had xen available.
 I ran /etc/init.d/xend start and was able to use xm create to create
some domains

Things seemed to work great until rebooted
one of the domains via a  login through an ssh connection.

python pegged the CPU and for about
5 minutes my cpu was pegged.  I killed that process and thus killed
xend.

So my next step was to wipe my Fedora
Core 4 Test 1 machine and install Fedora Core 3 instead (since the HOWTO's
were using that version to base their HOWTO's on).

So, I regened the server as Fedora Core
3, ran yum update and noticed that this time, yum updated me to gcc 4.0
amongst other things.
1) I went on the hunt for kernel-xen0
and kernel-xenU again and could not find anything available anywhere...
 mind you, this is approximately a week after I found it before.
2) I decided to do the build myself
from scratch.  I downloaded the latest xen-unstable source and tried
to run "make dist" on it.  This is what I recieved:

Does anyone have any suggestions on
getting past this?  I also tried the stable release and testing release
and have similar errors.

Thanks,
Joe
