Hello, I am bussy building a xen cluster. When selecting mainboards for this cluster i came only up with core 2 duo mainboards with onboard gigabit ethernet cards with the realtek RTL8111B chipset. I have tested a mainboard and could not find a way to compile the driver sourcecode from the realtek site because of a missing /lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/Build directory. Can anyone help me out? I am not helped with advice to select a pci ethercard because i need the riserboard slot for a additional gigabitcard for i-scsi storage. and because of expensive rackspace i can put a little effort in making it fit in a 1HE 19" rackmount. Maybe you can also suggest a mainboard wich is compatible with xen and fits in a 1HE rackmount. Kind Regards, Dirk Pol _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hello Dirk, The /lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/Build Directory is normaly a link to the Directory where your kernel sources are. So if you set the link manualy the build schould work. As a alternative, look if you can set a Environment Variable which overrides the default path in the Makefile.

Hello Arnd, But where and how do i get the content of the Build directory? I have installed Xen from the tarbal Dirk -----Original Message----- From: Arnd Schmitter [mailto:xen@lgcm.de] Sent: woensdag 11 oktober 2006 0:09 To: Dirk Pol Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Realtek RTL8111B Hello Dirk, The /lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/Build Directory is normaly a link to the Directory where your kernel sources are.

Hello Dirk, I dont'' know it exactly, because i''m using a version from the revision control system. But I think the kernel-dir will be a same. Insidde teh Xen-source there will be separate dir for the linux kernel. The link should point there. I don''t have access to my machine at the Moment but i will look for it later.

Hello Dirk, I''ve just seen, that there are only prebuilt binaries. So i think you also have only binaries. I don''t know, if the sources are within this packets. If not, you will have to download the sources, because the realtek driver needs them (especially the linux sources inside).
