I want to copy my config from my exisiting kernel to xen I have a procedure but i believe it to be imperfect..can anyone help with this? my existing kernel is 2.6.12-10-386 I copied config-2.6.12-10-386 from /boot to ~/xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0/.config sudo make oldconfig ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3 I do a sudo make menuconfig ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3 in the ~/xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0 directory Options for Dom0 kernel to make sure are selected Privileged Guest (domain 0) (XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST) [N/y/?] (NEW) y Physical device access (XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS) [Y/?] (NEW) y Block-device backend driver (XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW) Network-device backend driver (XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW) Block-device frontend driver (XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW) Network-device frontend driver (XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW) Pipelined transmitter (DANGEROUS) (XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND_PIPELINED_TRANSMITTER) [N/y/?] (NEW) Scrub memory before freeing it to Xen (XEN_SCRUB_PAGES) [Y/n/?] (NEW) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEGENERIC y CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED y Also DMA access by hard drives should be enabled... ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ what comes here? sudo make ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3 ??? If so is this done in the /linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0 directory or in the root directory xen-unstable.hg????? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda sudo hdparm -v /dev/hda sudo hdparm -d1 -c1 -u1 /dev/hda <-------if this gives an error then ide_dma is not enabled in kernel config sudo mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.16-rc5-xen0.img 2.6.16-rc5-xen0 cd /lib/modules sudo depmod 2.6.16-rc6-xen0 --------------------------------- Yahoo!
