[Xen-devel] Porting 2.0.7 to newer linux kernel

[Michal Ludvig <michal@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I'm trying to port Xen 2.0.7 to a more recent kernels than the last 
supported 2.6.12. Why? Because my server is far far away and I'm not 
going to remotely upgrade Xen 2.0 to Xen 3.0 and then fly over there to 
fix it. And after all it's a good coding excercise ;-)
Anyway, going in small steps, thus doing 2.6.13 first. After half a day 
of work it finally compiles but an attempt to create domain with this 
kernel ends up with "Error: Error creating domain: (0, 'Error')" and the 
domain is still present in xm list:
# xm create -c bobek-x2
Using config file "bobek-x2".
Error: Error creating domain: (0, 'Error')
# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0      251    0  r----    145.4
Domain-2           2      128    0  --p--      0.0

Where can I get more info on what goes wrong? Can I run the kernel or 
hypervisor in some verbose or debug mode? So far I only got some info 
from xm log, but not too useful:
[2006-02-28 23:14:35 xend] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:720) init_domain>

Thanks for any hints!
