I''m having a bit of bother booting a dom0 as I''m being told that I should have a xen-friendly glibc `mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled` ain''t happening. I''m ready to patch it but I have some questions:- - What options or switches should I use? - If I get it right for xen, what effect could it have on the rest of the system? - Am I correct in thinking that it''s best to patch a version similar to that in my distro''s repo? -- John Maclean - 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

BLAG Linux - a Fedora Core variant. Normally with Debian I''d `apt-get -y install libc6-xen`, but that''s not possible in this instance.

Fedora has for some time, included a Xen-aware libc build which should be selected automatically when the system boots into a Xenified kernel. Maybe BLAG don''t include this...

I''ve grabbed a specs file from BLAG''s repositary and have
observed the
following after running `occur` within emacs. specs file for glibc.
26 lines matching "xen" in buffer glibc.spec.
8:%define xenarches i686 athlon
9:%ifarch %{xenarches}
10:%define buildxen 1
11:%define xenpackage 0
13:%define buildxen 0
14:%define xenpackage 0
137:%if %{xenpackage}
138:%package xen
139:Summary: The GNU libc libraries (optimized for running under Xen)
143:%description xen
145:perform as well under the Xen hypervisor. This package
provides alternative
146:library binaries that will be selected instead when running under Xen.
148:Install glibc-xen if you might run your system under the Xen hypervisor.
931:%if %{buildxen}
992:%if %{buildxen}
1216:%if %{xenpackage}
1293:%if %{buildxen}
1511:%if %{xenpackage}
1512:%post xen -p /sbin/ldconfig
1513:%postun xen -p /sbin/ldconfig
1525:%if %{buildxen} && !%{xenpackage}
1562:%if %{xenpackage}
1563:%files -f nosegneg.filelist xen
2230:- put xen libs into the glibc-2*.i686 package instead of a separate one
2250:- glibc-xen subpackage for i686
2455: - double buffer size in getXXbyYY or getXXent on ERANGE
This could mean that I''m good to go if i use the right switch(es)
during the build, right?
