Re: [Xen-users] Recompile for use as Xen host

This is a nOOb question, I know, but still...
I know there are images out there, but I need to do this from scratch.
I have a CentOS3.5 server (modified) that I want to use as a Xen host. I
have the kernel sources and compiling tools installed. I also have the
original .config file for the CentOS machine.
I am currently trying to do the same thing, although I do not care about
SMP at the moment.
According to the on-line Xen manual I can copy over the original .config
file and issue: make ARCH=xen oldconfig. Then 'make dep' and 'make'.
During the 'make ARCH...' command I get TONS of questions which by
default are all set to no, but I do want Xen support :-) SO most of the
questions I answered with 'm' (module).
For the config, I have copied the CentOS config, but then adapted it
comparing the settings with the default xen0 config. Some things I have
disabled from the CentOS config, because I thought they were not
supported with xen (highmem, etc). I can send you my .config file
off-list, but note that I have disabled most graphics/video stuff, too,
because I wont use X here.
Compilations aborts because smpboot.h can not be found. The symbolic
link in the asm directory is missing, so I created it pointing to the
i386 directory. Then compiling still halts at:
[snip]
And here is where I am stuck. I know that smp is not 'fully' supported
yet or is it? Anyway my questions are:
I am sorry I can't answer this (also new to Xen).
- Am I following the right procedure, if not please advise with more
detail.
- What does the above error mean and how to resolve it?
- Is there more info on creating a e.g. CentOS3.5 Xen-0 and Xen-U kernels?
- Should I quit trying ? ;-)
I still hope this is possible. ;-)
Will keep you updated with my progress.
Best Regards,
Michael Paesold
