Re: [Xen-devel] domU guest for xcp 0.1.1

[Ritu kaur <ritu.kaur.us@xxxxxxxxx>]

Our technical guru/consultant suggested to check if backporting fixes(changes for shared interrupts) into 2.6.27 XCP source is feasible? i.e 

XCP 2.6.27 source + fix(es) for shared interrupts = pci-passthrough work seamlessly 

If it is possible do let me know and pointer to the changes would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Thanks Pasi. When will new xcp with 2.6.32 kernel be released?

Did you install the modules after you compiled the kernel?
Did you run "depmod -a <kernelversion>" ?

yes I have done it and still the same problem.

You can't modules from a different kernel version!!!

I understand that. Just want to check what additional problems arise.

Looks like you didn't install the modules from the new kernel.

I have installed modules via "make modules_install" and depmod as well.

XCP default kernel is 2.6.27. You're trying to use 2.6.32.
There might have been changes between the kernel versions.

If ide-disk module is not used/required anymore in 2.6.32, then you should
remove it from /etc/modprobe.conf so that mkinitrd doesn't try to include it!

(replace it with the proper new module name).

"Invalid module format" means it's from a different kernel and cannot be
used with this kernel.

Install for example Fedora 12, or any other distro that has 2.6.32 kernel
as a default, and check which modules are used for your hardware,
then replace "ide-disk" in modprobe.conf with the actual module.

Will look into it.
