Xen devel - Oct 2008 - no "ata" sub-folder in linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/driver

Hi all,

When I make the ram disk for xen-3.3.0, I encounter a problem.
$mkinitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
...
No module pata_marvell found for kernel 2.6.18.8-xen, aborting.

Compared part of source code between linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/driver/* and
linux-2.6.18/driver/*(from kernel.org),
I found that linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/driver/ata doesn''t exist.
( some source code of module pata_marvell should be in
/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/driver/ata/pata_marvell.c )

Did any one encount this problem? Is it a bug in  linux-2.6.18-xen.hg?  Any
solution?

Thanks,
Jeff.Gu

It looks as if that is a RHEL5 base version of a kernel that did
not have the full complement of back-port SATA drivers.

I would suggest you just get the SRPM RPM of the RHEL5 U2, extract
it and dump it in the linux-2.6.18-xen.hg directory. Thought that
is a bit of a naive way of doing it and it might work.

No bug. Just an old version of RHEL5 there.

Yes, my current OS is CentOS 5.2 which should be categorized to RHEL5.

What is the mean of U2?

Can you give me the link address of the SRPM?

Thanks,

RHEL5 Update 2. Or you can use CentOS 5.2 SRPM - they are the same
ones.

I downloaded the corresponding kernel source code of RHEL5.2.

The srpm is kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.src.rpm
After extracting, the source of the kernel is in
"usr/src/redhat/build/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i386".
( I can generate a runnable kernel for RHEL5.2 from this source code
directory )

I dumped it in the linux-2.6.18-xen.hg directory, and removed the rule
".valid-src" in $(XEN_ROOT)/buildconfigs/src.hg-clone.
But it didn't work.

Can you give a more detailed explaination?

===================$cd $(XEN_ROOT)
$cd linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
$make mrproper
$cd ..
$make dist
...
make -C /root/build/xen2/xen-3.3.0/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
O=/root/build/xen2/xen-3.3.0/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32 vmlinuz

After extracting, the source code of linux is in the directory "
