[Xen-users] Problem compiling a custom kernel for xen-3.0
Hello,
I am trying to run xen-3.0 in some of my dell servers. I have tried the
binary distribution of xen, but it doesn''t boot in my test system (a
dell poweredge 750) because a module driver problem (I get an error
message during booting saying it doesn''t load a NFS root filesystem).
So I am trying to compile a custom kernel. So I have downloaded linux
source 2.6.12. I am doing the next steps (found at
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu_p3):
1. cp -al linux-2.6.12 linux-2.6.12-xen0
2. cd xen-3.0.1/linux-2.6.11-xen-sparse/
3. ./mkbuildtree ../../linux-2.6.12-xen0/
4. cd ../..
5. echo "-xen0" > linux-2.6.12-xen0/localversion-xen
6. diff -Naur linux-2.6.12 linux-2.6.12-xen0 >
archive/linux-2.6.12-xen0.patch
7. cd linux-2.6.12
8. patch -p1 < ../archive/linux-2.6.12-xen0.patch
9. cd ../
10. mkdir install
11. cd linux-2.6.12-xen0
12. cp arch/xen/configs/xen0_defconfig .config
13. ARCH=xen; INSTALL_PATH=../install; INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../install
14. export ARCH INSTALL_PATH INSTALL_MOD_PATH
15. make oldconfig
16. make menuconfig
17. make modules
But I get an error:
CHK include/linux/version.h
CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s

constant
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 2
so I can''t compile it. I have tried to compile the 2.6.12 kernel with
the same configuration (but without xen options) and it compiles
perfectly.
Any idea?

Re:[Xen-users] Problem compiling a custom kernel for xen-3.0
Hi there, your approach will never work - as the howto you use was made for xen2. Just have a short look a the xen3 user manual and you''ll find the solution of your prolem :-) cheers, Mat -----Original Message----- Sent: Montag 06.03.06 12:15:04 Subject: [Xen-users] Problem compiling a custom kernel for xen-3.0>Hello, > > I am trying to run xen-3.0 in some of my dell servers.
