Thanks again. I was a little skeptical since domain 0 is also failing
to find sunrpc. Nonetheless, I copied over the entire /lib/modules
directory and the directories containing the symbolic links for source
and build. I restarted the unprivileged domain and still have the same
problem.
What bit of magic am I missing for something so seemingly simple?
After I have reconfigured the kernel to add NFS server support, I have
not run a make, make modules or make modules_install from the kernel
directory. Instead, I have run make and make install from the xen
parent directory. I thought that is what one is supposed to do. Am I
mistaken? Am I supposed to build the modules in each of the separate
kernel directories? Thanks - John
