hi,
first of all, you guys make great work to use xen under debian.
I use etch to set up a xen server for later production use and so i try to use
as much debian packages without manual adaptations to later use security
updates when etch is released.
As i have a machine with 16G of ram i need the pae versions of the hypervisor
and the linux kernel. But there is only the pae version of the hypervisor
available and not the pae (bigmem?) version of the according kernel.
Are there plans to make a pae version of the xen kernel for the etch release?
What is the recommended way to build a pae version of a kernel the debian way?
For now i used the debian linux source to build my own pae version of the
kernel with make-kpkg, but the filenames are very ugly (xen0-linux-2.6.18)
and the initrd isn't build automatic.
I'm using xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-i386-pae and
linux-image-2.6.18-1-xen-686 (from unstable, but will soon be in etch as i
see) as starting point for my own compiled linux image.
