Hi ... I recently tried out Xen for virtualization and as I saw it turned out to be just what I needed in matters of providing safe context separation for my apps ... I tried this on a pc with a provided kernel image ( I use Debian ). Afterwards I wanted to try it out on a pc with a custom compiled kernel ... I started to investigate and some guides pointed me towards a patch that I have to apply to enable the Xen architecture so I can successfully compile my own kernel ... However, I can''t seem to find it .. where can I get this patch ?? And can anyone tell me if this is the right way to do it?? I''m using Debian Lenny and a 2.6.28 customized kernel ... Greetings ... _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Patches exist for native kernel.org 2.6.27 and 2.6.29 kernels, however I''m not sure if anyone is maintaining one for 2.6.28. I do remember seeing patches for it, but now I can''t seem to locate them. I (or others) could guide you on obtaining and building 2.6.26-15 or one of the later kernels, which one would be better?

Help on this would be much much appreciated, like where to get a patch (or binaries already compiled).

Ok, Tim thanks for replying ... I''m interested in compiling a >= 2.6.28 kernel since I''m using the newly introduced ext4 filesystem ... If there''s no patch for the 2.6.28 kernel I can update to a 2.6.29 or a 2.6.30 kernel ... I''ll wait for your suggestions then ... Where and how can I start ? Greetings ...

Hi, you use ext4 on Dom0 ? Otherwise you can keep the original Debian 2.6.26 kernel on this one (the Dom0) and use any vanilla newer kernel on DomU : it''s what I do, all my Dom0 are in 2.6.26 and all DomU are in 2.6.29.4 Olivier Teratux a écrit :> Ok, Tim thanks for replying ...

Tim Post wrote:> I (or others) could guide you on obtaining and building 2.6.26-15 or one > of the later kernels, which one would be better?Tim, Thankyou thankyou. I have two Debian Lenny Dom0 systems suffering this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=517449 I am very keen to test the patches for obvious reasons. You can see my un-answered request to help...it seems Xen unloved - well at least this week on the Debian Kernel lists. How would one apply those patches to a Debian kernel and build it properly? make-kpkg??? Also assuming the fixes for this bug are already included in 2.6.29....how should I do that one Debian style? ta Berni _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Olivier I''m running ext4 on my Dom0 ... Yes the solution you propose can solve the issue but in this case the system running ext4 is the host machine ... ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:26:09 +0200 From: "Olivier B." <xen.list@daevel.fr> Subject: Re: [Xen-users] customized debian kernel ...
