I''m just trying to compile linux-iscsi-4.0.1 and it complains that it can''t find arch/i686/Makefile within the linux kernel tree. The makefile defines the architecture as: ARCH:=$(shell uname -m) which on my system gives i686, not xen. Is xen or linux-iscsi not doing the right thing here? I think probably the ARCH test should be skipped if I have specified it as an environment variable... James

You''ll need to enable CRYPTO, MD5 and CRC32C in your xen0 config file first.

It''s actually xenU I want to test it in (but compiling under xen0), and a make says this: Note: using kernel source from /lib/modules/2.6.7-xen0/build containing kernel version 2.6.7 Note: using kernel config from /boot/config-2.6.7-xen0 So i set TOPDIR too, and also had to patch iscsi-id.c to fix these two errors: iscsi-id.c:90: error: too few arguments to function `sysfs_open_class_device'' iscsi-id.c:94: error: too few arguments to function `sysfs_open_class_device'' by changing the calls to sysfs_open_class_device_path. hope that''s the right thing to do. I must have a different version of sysfs (debian version is 1.1.0-1) ''make ARCH=xen'' seems to do the right thing, but ''make ARCH=xen install'' says: Installing iSCSI driver for Linux 2.6.7-xen0 doh! then I replaced all occurences of ''shell uname -r'' in the makefile with ''shell echo 2.6.7-xenU'' and it compiles finally. The only problem is that I just did a bk pull and enabled SCSI in xenU, and now the kernel won''t compile. i''ve attached the output of ''make linux26'', the errors are to do with undefined references to ''direct_remap_area_pages''. Do you think that it is to do with the latest bk pull or to do with me enabling device drivers in an unprivileged kernel? i''ll get there eventually! thanks James From: Ian Pratt Sent: Fri 20/08/2004 4:34 PM To: James Harper Cc: xen-devel@lists.sourceforge.net; Ian.Pratt@cl.cam.ac.uk Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] compile problem> I''m just trying to compile linux-iscsi-4.0.1 and it complains that it can''t find arch/i686/Makefile within the linux kernel tree.

Hi Ian, I found out that one of the reasons for my xen box crashing was related to that the xen-domain-cfg block device was set to sda, where I have a phy hda. It is running smoothly with a build from the. 22th. I just upgraded it to 1gig mem, and she is running 4 domains total. I may have a ISP sponsor for machinery/rack space and bandwidth - so soon I will get friends and possible customers to join the VMs. I am very interested in trying out WinXP on xen, I know its still on dev stage - but anyway, very interesting. How far is the dev on that issue, is it possible to actually run a live version of it? I know there migth be some license thing to clear out first, how do I proceed with this and what is the roadmap of actually getting hold of the code/binaries? Best regards, Thomas E. Conway-Poulsen. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
