Greetings Xen
Masters!
I have an
application that will only install in specific RedHat ES Kernels and I'm
trying to install XEN using a RedHat kernel as the source.
I created a
tar.bz2 image of the kernel source for RedHat ES4 and placed it in the
/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2 directory. ( I have no inet access from this box so the
original install had the linux-2.6.16.tar.bz6 image and
worked).
I then typed 'make
world' and it fails with the following message:
'snip'
make -C
linux-2.6.9-xen ARCH=x86_64 oldconfig
make[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2/linux-2.6.9-xen'
scripts/kconfig/conf -o
arch/x86_64/Kconfig
arch/x86_64/Kconfig:493: can't open file
"kernel/Kconfig.hz"
make[5]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1
make[4]: ***
[oldconfig] Error 2
'snip'
I can extract
Kconfig.hz from linux-2.6.16-tar.bz2, but I don't know what this file is or
what it does. My goal is to run my application in a subdomain using a
RedHat kernel without a VT processor.
Has anyone else
used a distro's kernel to create a xen domain?
any help would be
greatly appreciated :>)
Thanx...Max
I don't know the answer to your
question about Kconfig.hz, nor does there seem to be one of those files in my
.../linux-2.6.16.13-xen/../kernel directory, so I guess extracting it from the
linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 file would not work either.
Are you sure that it will even
work to do this? Most installations that I've seen that require a very
particular kernel version are also using binary modules that
are compiled to be used with that particular version of kernel, and
will most likely fail if you try to give it a Xenified
kernel...
