Hello It seems to me that running ''make mrproper'' in a Xen-modified kernel source causes the Xen-specific menus in ''make menuconfig'' to disappear and be replaced by the standard stuff. Not sure why. I''m going to do a patch against Gentoo that always disables MRPROPER when compiling kernels for Xen. I''d like to hear if anyone thinks this is the wrong/right approach or has any comments... _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Do you pass ARCH=xen for all make calls? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Maybe its possible that somehow you lost the "ARCH=xen" line in top of your Makefile with mrproper, and didn''t specify it when running make menuconfig? /Ernst _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Not sure how that would have happened, haven''t edited the Makefile manually.. (Or are you saying that running ''make mrproper'' and then ''make menuconfig'' will make the menus revert? In that case I''m still wondering whether that''s really sane behaviour.) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
