Hi 

Can someone help me figure out a way to compile a 2.4 kernel in a 2.6
system. Basically it keeps failing because it needs the genksyms
package, which is provided in the modutils package from redhat, but
obviously this isn't presetn on the 2.6 kernel.

I was wondering how the xen maintainers go about compiling their 2.4
kernel and 2.6 kernel. Do you do it on different systems then package
it together?

Thanks
Shaz
