Re: [Xen-devel] 3.4.0 wants to download Linux despite its presence
Doing make xen and make tools should be just fine (I do this regularly, as
I don't want or need Linux to be constantly rebuilt and reinstalled when
I'm only changing things to Xen and/or tools).
Did you install them after building (make install-xen and make
install-tools)? I think you need to be sudo for it to install properly.

However, no matter what I try, the build hits the Mercurial server to
download the Linux kernel sources. I have tried a number of things,
but I am completely unable to prevent the download.
The build system is rather unfortunate. You can completely prevent
the Xen build from building a kernel by setting XKERNELS=''
You'll have to build the kernel yourself then of course.
I'm afraid that didn't work - it still downloaded from Mercurial, and is
building it now.
I'm just going to let it build, but use a kernel that I previously built.
Jeremy's suggestion to "make fetch-dependencies" is I think a good one.
I've tried "make xen" and "make tools", rather than "make world", but
the impression I have is that they leave the build incomplete somehow. I
was never able to get a DomU to load and would get all sorts of arcane
messages.
I promise to keep trying though - I really *want* Xen to work.
I don't think it's so bad to automatically fetch all the dependencies
other that Linux.
One reason I wanted to have my own Linux kernel was so I could use a
RAID driver that I backported to 2.6.18 from the current release. I
would imagine many users would have specific requirements for their
Linux kernel that the default Xen Linux cannot satisfy.
