Thread-topic: Probs with kernel selfmade 2.6.18.8 for ubuntu-DomU HVM (want more HDD performance, PV driver)
Hi,

I'm not able to compile the  xen PV-drivers (unmodified_drivers) 
In an ubuntu (kernel > 2.6.24) - this is a know issue.

Independent of this, i would like to get a better
HDD-IO-performance (actual only about 10MB/sec).

For this, I try to install the 2.6.18.8 kernel, but while
booting, I get a kernel panic:

        apt-get install hgsvn hg-buildpackage
        apt-get install kernel-package  libncurses5-dev debhelper html2text 
debconf-utils fakeroot
        apt-get install libdb3-dev
        hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
                cd linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
                cp /boot/config.... ./.config
                make  all
                make install
                make modules
                make modules_install
                update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18.8 

        # update menu.lst
      Reboot & kernel panic
        
Does somebody compiled the kernel 2.6.18.8 and installed it in a DomU ?
DomU is a xen-3.2-testing. The "normal" ubuntu with the dist-kernel works well.
        

Viele Gruesse
