Xen users - May 2005 - CCISS driver on HP DL380 G3 ?

Hi.

I am trying to boot Xen 2.0.5 on an HP DL380 G3. It won''t. The box has
an "HP Smart Array 5i" that when running normal Linux is handled by
the
CCISS driver. I suspect that this is what is not supported in the stock
Xen kernel. Am I correct that I need to build a kernel from source ?

According to
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-11/msg00709.html
there is a guy that solved "the issue with the CCISS driver". I could
not find info on what the solution was. Any gotchas ?

Cheers

Yes, you just need to add support for the CCISS driver in your kernel 
configuration and rebuild. Assuming you have a bitkeeper repository 
at $(BKROOT), the procedure is: 


# cd $(BKROOT)/linux-2.6.10-xen0 
# make ARCH=xen xconfig      (configure however you want)
# cd ..
# make 


cheers,

S.
