[Xen-devel] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem
Folks, Mercurial is selectable as an installation in OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST. I have: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg make dist sh ./install.sh It appears to have installed properly, but it has not created the required module /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem
This is probably the wrong list for such a question - future usage
questions should be directed to xen-user
Take a look at the README file. It will describe how to generate an
initrd in section 5:
5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:
# make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig (or xconfig)
# make linux-2.6-xen-build
# make linux-2.6-xen-install
Depending on your config, you may need to use ''mkinitrd'' to
create
an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
# depmod 2.6.18-xen
# mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod
initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
Other systems may requires the use of ''mkinitramfs'' to
create the
ram disk.
# depmod 2.6.18-xen
# mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
