Xen users - Aug 2005 - Compile Xen (unstable) with kernel 2.4 instead of 2.6.12

Hi,

I want tested Xen with my OS based on a kernel 2.4 (it''s a CentOS 3.4).

I downloaded the unstable sources of xen (xen-unstable-src.tgz).
I read the user guide and I verified the "Prerequisites",
I''ve :
      - the "iproute 2" package
      - the "linux bridge utils"
      - an installation of Twisted
      - gcc, binutils & make
      - curl-devel
      - zlib-devel
      - python
It''s OK

I want build xen from source but I''ve a kernel 2.4 (kernel Redhat
2.4.21-27.0.2).
And when I compile, I''ve an error because it search a kernel 2.6.12

How to make to compile Xen with a kernel 2.4 ?



Regards,

Cédric

Hi Cédric,

here you find an inspiring document: 
http://wiki.blitzed.org/User:grifferz/Xen

You can use a vanilla kernel from kernel.org with that and can compile 
2.4 or 2.6 or both (in the beginning just delete the kernel trees off 
xen source you do not want to use).

I may be mistaken, but I think I remember some posts about 2.4 support 
being broken in the latest unstable snapshots. 2.0.7 should be fine 
(2.0.6 surely is here).

You can''t use 2.4 as domain 0 (the "host") under the unstable
tree.  If you
really want support for that, you should use the 2.0 tree.  You will be able 
to run 2.4 as an unprivileged guest of another domain in the 3.0 release but 
that''s all - it was too much work maintaining the 2.4 dom0 support now
that
2.4 is not used much anymore.

Cheers,
Mark
