Réf. : Re: [Xen-users] Re: Installing Xen on Redhat RHEL4

[pierre.gentile@xxxxxxxx]

Hello,

Are you sure, I dowloaded the last unstable sources and the provided
Makefile do not allow me to patch the CentOS 4 kernel to make it a DOM0
kernel

Does it exist a procedure to do that ?

What I want is to have a kernel-2.6.9-11.EL-xen0 kernel


Regards

Pierre

Yes, CentOS 4 (or RHEL4) works as both domain master (dom0) and guest
(domU). Using the xen-supplied kernels should work, though in my case
I rebuilt the kernel to include drivers for certain devices we use.

You'll need to download the xen source to "xenify" your kernel, though
RedHat has this way of backporting patches to udpate the kernel.

If you don't need to run the official RH-supplied kernel, building
your own should be much easier.
