Xen users - Jan 2006 - Xen kernel compilation fails - no such file or directory features.h (but its there)

Hello,

The 2.6.12-xenU kernel does not seem to have smbfs support. I couldn''t
find
the config files for it so maybe I''m missing something obvious, but I
read
that you need to compile your own kernel to get smbfs support.

I''m trying to follow the guide at 

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/320

I''ve done exactly as the guide says, except I''ve gone into the
Xen menu and
turned off Priviledged host and turned off Host access drivers. And I built
Ext3 support into the kernel.

If I don''t build Ext3 support in the kernel, it compiles fine but I
can''t
boot. If I try to compile it in, I get the following kernel image

I''ve install build-essential and libc6-dev. Features.h definitely
exists in
/usr/include/ I''m using gcc-3.3 but I''ve also tried gcc-4.0.
Obviously I''m
missing something obvious, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks muchly.

Joel

I don''t know the debian kernel-build system, but seeing
''arch/i386'' there
makes me think it completely ignored your KPKG_ARCH=xen setting.

Not sure about the debian howto, however did you try to just use the
following to compile a kernel ?

Download xen3.0 and extract it.

make install-kernels

If you want to compile the xen kernel which packs in more drivers then you
need to edit the Makefile.

Edit Makefile
Change
KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU
to
KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen

make install-kernels

This above will help compile the xen kernel and install it for you.

Hope this helps.
