[Fedora-xen] Building a kernel module for Xen for Fedora 6 Xen kernel
Hello, I downloaded the dm-userspace sources from http://static.danplanet.com/dm-userspace/ (By hg clone). Now I want to build this module. I run Fedora 6 xen kernel (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen). I have kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 and kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 installed, and also xen-3.0.3-8.fc6 and xen-libs-3.0.3-8.fc6. Building the dm-userspace should be against sources of the kernel; it uses header files from drivers/md tree ; this header files are **NOT** part of the kernel-xen-devel rpm (which **DOES** include headers from include/linux). What should I do? In the fedora download site, there is no SRPM for kernel-xen. There is SRPM for 2.6.18 kernel (kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm); is it good for building a Xen kernel module ? should I use it ? There is also src rpm for xen (xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3.src.rpm) but this seems irrelevant. Any ideas? Ian
