Hi, has anyone build a linux-2.6.16 deb that can be used to compile xen? The default unstable package does not seem to have any xen patches included, only the /debian/arch/amd64/xen dir for the .config files. MfG Goswin

Hi, I hope I''m right here. If not then please point me in the right direction. My problem in short: I have problems using (pinning, mmu_update) physical pages from 0x900000 to 0xB1000 usualy. I''m writing my own little amd64 64bit toy kernel (based on Mini-OS as starting point) for xen and I run into problems with the way the start of day sets up the physical pages. My kernel

Hi, I''m trying to use the SYSCALL/SYSRET opcodes with a minios kernel without much success. Going by the manuals (and linux sources) I first have to setup the STAR and LSTAR registers to define the segment and instruction pointer to be used for SYSCALL: /* * LSTAR and STAR live in a bit strange symbiosis. * They both write to the same internal register. STAR allows

Hello list, I cannot get make-kpkg to build a Xenlinux type kernel into a Debian kernel binary on my Debian Squeeze x86_64 system. I am using GNU/Linux kernel sources tree (2.6.34.4) with Xen patches for this custom kernel. I am trying to use the make-kpkg command to build a working linux-image-2.6.34.4-xen-amd64 package for my system. The sources are vanilla (available from kernel.org) with

Hi, first of all, apologies if this isn't the right mailing list but it was the best I could find. If you know a better mailing list, please tell me. Today I tried to defrag one of my filesystems. It's a 3.5T large filesystem that has 6 software-raids in the bottom and then merged together using lvm. I was running ext3 but removed the journal flag with thor:~# tune2fs -O ^has_journal

Hello all, I downloaded the linux-2.6.16.16.tar.bz2 (www.kernel.org) and xen-3.0.2-src.tgz.

Hi Jon, perfect instructions, thank you very much. I used them and after some tests they worked. Here is what I did. Maybe someone could use it completely: ------------------------------------------------------------ Install helpers: apt-get install kernel-package ncurses-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 Go to usr directory: cd /usr/src wget

I''m a bit confused about the kernel used by the Xen hypervisor. I''ve just installed a 30 day trial of XenSource''s Enterprise edition software on a Sun Fire 4600. It was my understanding that it would install a 64 bit hypervisor, however, upon running uname -a on my machine, I am told that I am running a i686 kernel. Did I miss something? How does one use a 64 bit

Hi, since the repo is up and the debian files from "xen3.0.1-0tha2" are uploaded I want to say some words about my work. This could help to understand what I have done and makes it easier to understand what needs to be done to have it in a good shape for debian. - I have written down (more or less all) changes to debian/changelog, so reading it might help understanding what is

Hi! I would like to know the status of the frequency scaling in XEN. I found a web site saying that XEN doesn’t work with frequency scaling, at the other hand I found some fixes for powernow-k8 to get rid of some messages. I have an AMD64. powerno-k8 works find with non-XEN kernels, but with XEN-kernels I get the error: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ processors

hello, What is the current situation with xen on amd64? the debian/sid archive keeps no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64, and I was not able to compile a 2.6.22 dom0 kernel with debian xen patches applied on my amd64 system. I have linux-source-2.6.22 and linux-patch-debian-2.6.22 installed, and followed the instructions from the workaround for

Hey there, Earlier today I went to rebuild a Xen0 kernel and my modules_image failed with an error based on the fact that my Xen0 image did not have the standard kernel-image-XXX/linux-image-XXX name format. The error output is at the bottom of this email. Previously it had worked fine, only recently the maintainer (Kel) of the module source added some restrictions to modules.control.in to look
