Have you been successful building the drivers for .31 or .32?
I'd like to make a set of patches available to apply to Xen 3.4.2 or
4.0 to enable building the drivers with recent kernels and the forward
ported kernels I usually use, but while I've been able to rebuild them
on a opensuse 11.2 system running 2.6.31.12 I am finding it hard to
work out which patches need to be applied and what else the rpm build
process does to enable compilation.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
