[Xen-users] My .config gets ignored even after I copy into the xen0 kernel tree
I downloaded the xen testing source, ran "make xen" and "make tools" I copied my custom Linux 2.6.11 kernel .config to dist/install/boot/config-2.6.11-xen0 and ran "make kernels" then, to check that the newly built linux-2.6.11-xen0 kernel actually used the options from dist/install/boot/config-2.6.11-xen0 I ran "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" and noticed that it had not. This is critical because I use the XFS filesystem and the default options for xen do not add support for it. so i copied my config to linux-2.6.11-xen0/.config and ran "make ARCH=xen menuconfig", made sure the correct options for XEN were selected, and then exited. When I run "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" again I see that all my options are lost. Most options are completely disabled. For example, ATA support is totally disabled. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

For example, ATA support is totally disabled.I am not a developer for Xen, but may be I can help... When you exec "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" there should be an option to use another .config file, may I suggest you to try it? It is not a solution, just a workaround, while the solution is not at hand. -- Bye, Fernando Maior LPIC/1 31908 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
