[Xen-users] Errors with kernel compilation/install
So I got the xen source, ran "make xen", "make tools", the copied my custom Linux kernel .config to dist/install/boot/config-2.6.11-xen0 and ran "make kernels". When I went into the kernel linux-2.6.11-xen0 and ran "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" to check to see if my custom kernel options were there they weren''t. So xen ignored my config. So I copied in my custom .config to xen-unstable/linux-2.6.11-xen0/ and ran "make kernels" again. Then copied the vmlinuz-2.6.11.8-xen0 kernel image and accompanying System.map from xen-unstable/dist/install/boot/ to /boot and put a stanza in lilo.conf. Here''s what happens when I run lilo: # lilo Fatal: Setup length exceeds 31 maximum; kernel setup will overwrite boot loader I''ve never seen this sort of message from lilo before. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you *really* want ot keep Lilo you might be able to use the mbootpack program in the unstable tree to package Xen and XenLinux into a lilo-bootable image (this program will work on -stable tree kernels too).
