Re: [Xen-users] Xen packages availible for Ubuntu and Debian
There is no debian kernel-patch for the ASUS P5WD2 motherboard (Intel
955 chipset + ASUS additions). I had to fetch ite it8212 IDE driver
and manually patch the 2.6.11 kernel. Then had to manually modify one
case statement (per http://www.solace.net/nash/p5wd2-
premium.html) ... anyway, it works.
I think I can modify your instructions below and do all that with
debian kernel-source. But, don't I also need to apply the XeN kernel
patch stuff too? Or will modifying /etc/xenkernels.conf below work?
I've never heard of /etc/xenkernels.conf before.

The source packages for everything are also available, but what i
think you really want are the kernel-patch packages. Use apt-cache
to find which kernel-patch-$VERSION-xen packages are available for
stable or unstable. Once you have the kernel patch and the
upstream kernel source code, you can build your own kernel with
whichever configuration you would like. Then just add an entry to /
etc/xenkernels.conf, and run update-grub-xen.

It would be very nice if the source packages were available too.
Newer hardware (like mine) sometimes needs kernel patching.

I would like to announce the availability of packages of xen

(for those who already saw the previous announcement on the xen-
users list, see below for package changes)
The stable packages are from the most recent stable release,
2.0.7, while the unstable packages are from a recent nightly
snapshot. Included are all the packages you will need to have a
fully functional Xen installation. This includes kernel packages
built with the default Xen configurations, and also kernel
patches that facilitate building kernels that more closely match
your existing kernel configuration. The kernel packages also
include a configuration system that will determine (or if your
priority is set to medium ask you) the necessary xen root device,
and domain 0 memory allocations. For more info on this system,
see the man page for the included update-grub-xen, and the /etc/
xenkernels.conf file. Especially of interest to many is the --
default option to update-grub-xen, which will take steps to write
the xen entries as the default in your grub configuration file.
These packages are available at mirror.clarkson.edu, by adding
the appropriate lines to your sources file, and then installing
the xen package, and optionally the appropriate kernel patch
package.

Future goals with these packages:
consolidate xenu and xen0 kernel packages into single xen
configuration
make update-grub-xen script more robust, ie add better initrd
detection to it?
autobuild unstable packages nightly
Changes from packages previously announced on xen-users:
fixed python dependencies errors
removed bashisms from update-grub-xen script
added kernel patch packages
fixed bug in kernel config scripts when priority was set to
high (bad assumptions on my part)
