Xen devel - Dec 2012 - Error in installing xen-4.2 on Debian

Dear all,

 

I want to install Xen 4.2 from the source files on Debian Squeeze. After
"make" and "make install", I update-grub and got the error
message:

 

dpkg: version ''/boot/xen.gz'' has bad syntax: invalid character
in version
number

 

I googled the solution. Someone said to delete xen.gz (a symbolic link to
xen.4.2.0.gz) but it doesn''t work for me. Someone said it is a bug of
grub
and so I installed the latest version, but after reboot my system get into a
confusing grub interface and I don''t know how to continue. (thank god I
am
using vmware)

 

Can somebody help me? Thank you very much!

 

Regards,

Yiming

That error will not affect grub menu entry generation.

You will need a Dom0 kernel with CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y and place config file
in /boot.
