[Xen-users] xen_defconfig_x86_32 vs. xen0_defconfig_x86_32
Hello, I'm looking at compiling a custom 2.6.12.6 linux kernel patched for xen 3.0. I am slightly confused by the different default config files in arch/xen/configs. It seems that I would base my dom0 kernel on the xen0_defconfig_x86_32 file and my domU kernels on xenU_defconfig_x86_32 file. What purpose does the xen_defconfig_x86_32 config file serve? What are the use cases? -- Grant Monroe JanRain, Inc. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It does take more time to compile it, however its mostly recommended since it packs in support for more hardware. -- regards, Anand _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
