Xen users - Apr 2006 - Hooray to 3.0.2

Hi

With a lot of help from the list and even more trial-and-error I finally got
3.0.2 running.
To answer my last question myself, it did the following:

make xen
make tools
make docs

make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xen0-build
make linux-2.6-xen0-install
make linux-2.6-xen0-dist ( <-- unsure about this )

make linux-2.6-xenU-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xenU-build
make linux-2.6-xenU-install
make linux-2.6-xenU-dist ( <-- unsure about this )

make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" dist

And I got a complete dist directory.
THIS VERSION FINALLY WORKS WITH NAT FOR ME!
(Even though I didn''t have checksum errors, nat didn''t work
for me with
3.0.1)

Thanks again to the list, especially to Ryan Burke, and to the dev team!

And last but not least a warning: Maybe what I did was completely nonsense,
since I am very new to kernel compilation, however I tried most of the time
to load my 2.6.12.6 .config inside the menuconfig of 2.6.15. That worked so
far that it got the configuration somehow right. But the buildprocess always
failed later! Took me about two days work...

Regards,
  Steffen

Try an make oldconfig before doing the make menuconfig next time around. make 
oldconfig will adapt the .config file for the new kernel by removing stale 
symbols, and asking you when new symbols were added.

I presume 2.6.12->16 would be somewhat of a pain here (because quite a lot 
changed between these kernel versions), but 2.6.15->16 works beautifully, for
example, only asking you for the new netfilter infrastructure.

Try it next time.
