Yes, its definitely the kernel that I have been compiling...any idea as to how I can check that the driver is in there? I can't look at /proc/config.gz because the kernel panics when it cant load the root fs.

Thanks,
Navid

The compile warnings are nothing to do with Xen.

Subject: [Xen-users] Compiling legacy LSI megaraid drivers
(Linux 2.6.11)with xen 2.0.7?

Hi all,

        I've been using Xen for a while and I am trying to
install it onto a Dell Poweredge 2950.  The 2850 uses a
PERC4/Di raid on motherboard, which requires the LSI Legacy
SCSI Raid driver to be compiled into the 2.6.11-xen0 kernel.
I've been recompiling the kernel by:

1. Go into the linux-2.6.11-xen0 directory.  Select the
driver using "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" and then finding the
appropriate menu option
(CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY=y)

2.  cd ..

3.  make kernels

At some point....I get the following warnings during compilation:

CC      drivers/scsi/megaraid.o
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c: In function `issue_scb':
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:1132: warning: passing arg 2 of
`writel' makes pointer from integer without a cast

`writel' makes pointer from integer without a cast
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:1370: warning: passing arg 1 of
`readl' makes pointer from integer without a cast



4.  go into dist/install/boot and copy the kernel to /boot

during boot of the new kernel, I never see the LSI megaraid
driver load.  I assume that the above errors are symptoms of
something...anyone have any ideas?  Has anyone had any
problems similar to this?  I know I can get the RAID driver
to cleanly compile and work under a non xen kernels....


Thanks in advance,

Navid Khalili
