Re: [Xen-users] Kernel 2.6.15.4 and Xen

Hi Mats,

thanks for the reply.

At some point after 2.6.12 the Xen "architecture" was converted into a
x86 subarch, so you would just need to set the "subarchitecture" to Xen
inside your menuconfig.

Ah, Ok.

So what you need to do is:

'make menuconfig'
Select processor type and features
Now select "Xen compatible kernel".
Save config file.
'make clean bzImage'
'make modules'

When I "make menuconfig" I can't see any mention of Xen in the "Processor type and features" section or any of the sections below there. In fact I'm fairly sure I looked through every branch of the menus. Could you be more specific please and describe exactly where it is in case I missed it?

And of course whatever other steps you have to perform to make
everything work out (such as mkinitrd, make install, make
install-modules [which I never get right, because I'm not sure if it's
install-modules, install_modules, modules_install or ...], etc, etc).

Same here. :)

Cheers,

Mark.
