Xen users - Feb 2006 - fuse module for domU

hello all,

I''d like to install Fuse on a domU.
I''m using debian testing.

I did something like this on my pc at home:
aptitude install kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386
aptitude install fuse-source fuse-utils libfuse-dev libfuse2
aptitude install module-assistant
m-a a-i fuse
modprobe fuse

but I''m not sure about it on a Xen instalation.
after having compiled the 2.6.12.6-xen kernel for dom0 and domU and
copying the modules to domU, I''m a bit stuck.

Any advise?

Thanks.
Chris.

To install fuse

download fuse

./configure
make

WARNING: Symbol version dump
/root/xen/xen-3.0-testing/linux-2.6.12-xen/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

make install

mount the image
mount -o loop image.xen /vserver/mnt/

cp -a /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen/kernel/fs/fuse/
/vserver/mnt/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen/kernel/fs/
cp -a /usr/local/bin/fusermount /vserver/mnt/usr/local/bin

boot domU
domu# mknod /dev/fuse -m 0666 c 10 229


on mounting a fuse filesystem I get a warning
no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted

Is this the result of the "Symbol version dump" warning I got while
compiling fuse?

Chris.

Just a wild guess:
try 
ARCH=xen ./configure
ARCH=xen make
ARCH=xen ...

or 

export ARCH=xen

or edit 
/root/xen/xen-3.0-testing/linux-2.6.12-xen/Makefile and add a line
"ARCH=xen"
on top.
