Thread-topic: [Xen-users] no acenic net driver in 2.6.16-xen kernel
Thanks for getting back to me. I downloaded and unpacked both xen kernel source 
and xen sparse source
 
linux-2.6.16-xen/  linux-2.6-xen-sparse/
 
after i turned on the acenic module with make menuconfig, i tried make, I got 
tons of errors (mandriva 2006) like what follows:
 
[root@eduout7 linux-2.6.16-xen]# make
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
In file included from include/asm/thread_info.h:14,
                 from include/linux/thread_info.h:21,
                 from include/linux/preempt.h:10,
                 from include/linux/spinlock.h:50,
                 from include/linux/capability.h:45,
                 from include/linux/sched.h:7,
                 from include/linux/module.h:10,
                 from init/version.c:10:
include/asm/mach-xen/asm/page.h:20:31: error: xen/interface/xen.h: No such file 
or directory

the xen sparse does seem to contain this file, though the file with the same 
name appears elsewhere in the source tree
 
 
[root@eduout7 src]# find . -name xen.h -ls

Did you think about creasting a kernel with a custom config? See
README for this.
