similar to: [PATCH] BLOCK=n , LGUEST=m/y compile error

HI Rusty, I wanted to play with lguest. As it was recently merge upstream by Linus, i took a look and the location looks like driver/lguest*. Unfortunately my local git repo cannot get the 2.6.23-rc2 changes from upstream somehow :-/.[duh... says "Cannot get the repository state from http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git"]. i do not know what i am doing

Hi Linus, First attempt at git, so please pull carefully. I've just put the three i386 boot changes in the repo for the moment. If this works I'll pile on the 44 lguest patches. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-lguest.git Documentation/i386/boot.txt | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S | 15 ++++++++++-

1) Bridging via host is broken: we need to set "promisc" bit in MAC address published by the host so the guest sends us everything. Thanks James Morris for the report (I don't use bridging). 2) Lguest network device uses 0 to mean "noone at this slot". It used to use 0xFF, and one spot was missed. Minor: it just means we'll have a useless extra transmit

(Unless there are complaints, I'll push this as part of the lguest patches for 2.6.24, since there are lguest config changes there too). Andi points out that PARAVIRT is an option best selected when needed. We introduce PARAVIRT_GUEST for the menu itself, and select PARAVIRT if the user turns on anything which needs it.

Lguest drivers need to default to "Y" otherwise they're never selected for new builds. (We don't bother prompting, because they're less than 4k combined, and implied by selecting lguest support).

Hi all, These are the patches I'm planning to submit for 2.6.24. Comments gratefully accepted. Along with the usual cleanups and improvements are Jes' de-i386-ification patches, and a new "virtio" mechanism designed to be shared with KVM (and hopefully other hypervisors). Cheers, Rusty.

Andrew Morton commented out some stuff to make lguest compile. This should actually make it work (in the latest -mm).
