Xen users - Sep 2007 - Problems compiling 3.1 on i386 debian etch

Hello,

I have a Problem compiling xen 3.1 from source on a up to date i386
debian etch system.
I''ve searched the web for the error message I''m getting but
didn''t have
any luck finding a solution to my Problem. Only people with the same
Problem.

Here is the Error message I''m getting when try the "make
world"

Hi,

I can''t help with this problem directly, but there are packages for 3.1
in Debian unstable.  They build fine in Etch so you could just download
the source package and rebuild with dpkg-buildpackage.

And an extra benefit is better management of the installed files.  Much
easier to uninstall/upgrade etc.

(actually, I rebuilt Ubuntu Gutsy packages on Ubuntu Feisty, but it''s
basically the same thing).

John.

Thanks John

my Problem are not the xen-tools it''s the Dom0 kernel. I never got a
kernel that I could boot on my system.

I only use SATA drives but my chipset (82801GB/GR/GH) ist reported to
work fine.
http://hcl.xensource.com/?show=109&showtype=component

The kernel from etch didn''t work, see thread 2 days ago, and debian
testing and sid don''t come with xen-kernels, just the tools. Well as
far
as I can tell.


Thanks anyway Ben

Hi Benny,

you didn''t really make that clear in your original post.  As for
Kernel,
the Ubuntu Gutsy kernel (2.6.22) works fine with 3.1 for both dom0 and
domU - I''ve tested it quite heavily.

John.
