Re: [Xen-users] Compiling Xen-3.2.0

did you enable the sata driver in the config?
anyway, you can manually build the image file following the xen manual.
then run the install script to copy them to the /boot

finally, try to boot the xen. If it fails, you should enable the sata driver in the menuconfig then rebuild.

yes, this is what I figured, but any attempt I made, always ended up with mkinitrd complaining about missing module pata_atiixp

you can do
"make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig" under xen's directory
or
cd build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64
make menuconfig

To make it short: "make prep-kernels" create a build directory for the
kernel ***where you can copy your .config file***.  DO NOT CREATE A
.config FILE IN THE KERNEL SOURCE TREE.

the HOWTO is nice
so I guess if I have to change some kernel settings I shall run "make menuconfig" inside the same

build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/

folder, after prep-kernels, right?
