Hi, has someone already tried that xen 3.2 source package together with the linux-package which you will find on this URL: http://www.xen.org/download/ Has someone get it work ? Because it will constantly search for the Mercurial Repository for the Linux 2.6.18 kernel. Cheers, Maik _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Did you put them at the same directory level as xen sorce? like ...\xen-3.2 ...\linux-source weiming On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 2:30 PM, Maik Brauer <mailinglist@mbs-technet.com> wrote:> Hi, > > has someone already tried that xen 3.2 source package together with > the linux-package which you will find on this URL: > http://www.xen.org/download/ > > Has someone get it work ?

Yes, I''ve downloaded both packages and put them into /usr/src/
Both of them.
After that I did in the directory "/usr/src/xen-3.2.0" a "make
prep-
kernels"
then he tries always to search for that mercurial stuff:
for i in linux-2.6-xen ; do make $i-prep || exit 1; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-3.2.0''
make -f buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen prep
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-3.2.0''
set -e ; \
if [ ! -e linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/.hg ] ; then \
__repo=$(sh buildconfigs/select-repository linux-2.6.18-
xen.hg .:..) ; \
if [ -d ${__repo} ] ; then \
echo "Linking ${__repo} to linux-2.6.18-xen.hg." ; \
ln -s ${__repo} linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ; \
else \
echo "Cloning ${__repo} to linux-2.6.18-xen.hg." ; \
hg clone ${__repo#file://} linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ; \
fi ; \
else \
__parent=$(hg -R linux-2.6.18-xen.hg path default) ; \
echo "Pulling changes from ${__parent} into linux-2.6.18-

Yes, I had that problem too. You need to install mercurial, and clone the kernel repository with: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg in the directory where you unpacked the xen-3.2 tarball. See also: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-01/msg00699.html The README in the 3.2 release could have been clearer about this. Stephen.

Hi Stephen, yes, I know. I did it already with mercurial and this works fine for me, but if it is on that downloadpage, I expect that this will work as well. Because with the "hg clone" you will fetch the actual snapshot. This means not a stable one. In this case you have to use the "hg -r" to get only the Stable Version. That is what I know. But for this you need the newest Version of Mercurial, which is again more work to install. But the questions are here: 1) Why we have still that .hg and Mercurial stuff in that final release. 2) And how can we use that xen3.2.0 linux kernel stuff, without pulling it from the Repository Any ideas ??

I agree with you. when I first tried the xen 3.2, this hg puzzled me a lot. (I never heard HG before and the error message of "make" does not make any sense) I quite like the way of xen 3.1 : detect/download the vanilla kernel, patch it and compile it weiming On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 2:54 PM, Maik Brauer <mailinglist@mbs-technet.com> wrote:> Hi Stephen, > > yes, I know. > I did it already with mercurial and this works fine for me, but > if it is on that downloadpage, I expect that this will work as well. > Because with the "hg clone" you will fetch the actual snapshot.

I hadn''t really noticed the linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz tarball! If you set XEN_LINUX_SOURCE to "tarball" before you start does it work? Stephen.

I will work on updating the ReadMe to clear up this confusion and have it posted tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Another related question to this... Was there a reason that there were not pre-built binaries (32 bit, 32bit PAE SMP, 64bit) like there used to be [1] for previous versions released by XenSource as well as a source tar ball? These used to be a really good way to be up and running with the default build.
