Maybe I am wrong, tho. However, 315[12] and the rest look ok and should work.> On make ARCH=xen menuconfig seems there are few driver options to configure. > What I am doing wrong?That is because when you do a menuconfig yourself, the config is setup for a xenU kernel, thus real hardware support is disabled. The drawback(s) are that you''d have to enable real hardware support, *and* support for PCI, some other things that are very very fundamental and so on. I f***ed it up myself this way, asked on this list ;-) so it is most likely you want your .config -file to be a copy of a xen0 preconfigured config file. These are, iirc, in xen-2.0.6-stable/xen/arch/.... something. Sorry I don''t remember. Go to the xen/ subdir and type: $ find . -name \*xen0\* or $ find . -name \*conf\*xen\* I think the names are like that. Then copy those to linux-2.6.XX-YY/ directory as a ".config" file. Maybe you must do a make ARCH=xen oldconfig, never really got for what that target is for, anyway. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
