I am seriously confused, why is that?Unless you enable Physical Device Access in the Xen section of the config, the Drivers section of the kernel config won''t be very interesting ;-) I seem to remember these defaulting to off... Anyhow - if you enable that, and Privileged Domain then it should work. You might need to also go switch on "PCI Bus Support" somewhere.

Ehm, I tried my luck with a 2.6.11 (that which ships with xen-2.0.6) and tried to find my NICs, soundcard and so on under make ARCH=xen menuconfig but, I can''t. I am seriously confused, why is that? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I mean, if I make menuconfig without setting ARCH, it is assumed that my machine has a PCI-bus, but with Xen, it is not? However thanks for the pointer, it still fails (probably because other important yet configureable stuff have been disabled, too) but I have something to look for ;-)> > Cheers, > Mark >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you find the dom0 defconfig (it''s somewhere under arch/xen/configs, I think) and copy that to .config first, you''ll start off with more useful defaults for what you want to do. I think the initial config defaults to being a domU (which makes sense, I think). The other problem is that if you go disable Physical Device Access, it has the knock-on effect of the Linux configurator disabling loads of other things that you have to go back and turn on...> However thanks for the pointer, it still fails (probably because other > important yet configureable stuff have been disabled, too) but I have > something to look for ;-)No probs. Probably easiest to start with the dom0 config rather than figure out all the dependencies in the Linux build system (unless you really want to!!!)
