ok. i want to use 2.6.20 config for a 2.6.20 kernel.
i would never use a 2.6.18 config for a 2.6.20 kernel or vice versa.
but how and where can i tell the compile process to use the config?
i searched the diferent makefiles...

i want to change from the fedora core 6 xen 3.0.3 version to 3.1 because the
hypervisor crashed. first the domU crashed when i tried to compile postfix
in it. but not just when i was compiling. then the dom0 crashed and i had to
turn off the machine to restart it. i got the message: "BUG: soft lockup
detected on cpu#0" with a stack trace. i posted the error on bugzilla. i´m
not the only one with that problem.
do you mean that it´s better to use the standard way for xen? (download xen
source and just execute make world. then use the 2.6.18 kernel builded by
xen 3.1.)
i´ll just try that and let´s hope that it works... in case that it wouldn´t,
i have to change back to FC4.
