Xen devel - Feb 2011 - Issue with installing Zen4.0.1 on ubuntu 9.10

Hello Xen-development team,


When I was compiling my kernel I hit this error when I executed the
“make” command
————————-
CC [M] drivers/net/sfc/falcon.o
drivers/net/sfc/falcon.c:2928: error: redefinition of
‘falcon_dimension_resources’
drivers/net/sfc/falcon.c:2825: note: previous definition of
‘falcon_dimension_resources’ was here
make[3]: *** [drivers/net/sfc/falcon.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/sfc] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
————————-
Any idea how to get rid of this error and move forward?
Any help regarding this issue would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Abhiram

Hello Team,

Resending the mail again, just in case you missed my earlier email.

Any help regarding the issue will be really helpful.
Also please let me know in case you need more info for understanding this issue.

I am referring to this page for my installation:
  http://www.brandonturner.net/blog/2010/01/install-xen-ubuntu/
And stuck while compiling the kernel (using the make command)

Thanks,
Abhiram

Which kernel? please be precise in your bug reports.

It would be helpful to include your .config too.

If you don''t have any sfc hardware then you could disable this driver.

Hello Ian,

Thanks a lot for looking into this.

I am using the linux-2.6.31.8 kernel.
I have attached the .config file here with.
I have not tried disabling the sfc and compiling it yet.

I will give it a try. But just wanted to know, why this issue would
occur during compilation.

Thanks again for looking into this !
Abhiram

The page seems quite old (still refer to Xen 3.4.2). I don''t think
2.31.8 is not supported anymore. Even
http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list only lists
2.6.32 and 2.6.34 as featured download. I''ve tried 2.6.34 patch from
there. It has problems with tap2: syntax from Xen 4.0.1, but if you
don''t use tap2 (or use older versions of Xen, which only use tap:) the
kernel works great.

Another alternative is to use 2.6.32 pv_ops kernel from
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/xen/stable-2.6.32.x
, which would be a better choice if you want to use latest Xen version
(4.0.1 or 4.1-rc).

Hmm .. it seems that the URL can''t be accessed directly.
Start from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git,
and click "snapshot" on the line which has the label
"xen/stable-2.6.32.x"
