Hi Xen''ist
New on virtualization and as usual some issues when I try to install
Xen, from source packages, especially version 3.2
All prerequisites are done,
So, I unpacked both source packages : xen-3.2.0.tar.gz &
linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz inside "/usr/src" directory.
Move to "/usr/src"
root@xen-master:/usr/src# ll

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-03-09 12:46 linux ->

drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:36 xen-3.2.0/
Change to directory "xen-3.2.0" and execute "make world" and
got the
following error message:

It seems that Mercurial tools must be installed and are also
prerequisites (?)
Whereas from version 3.1.3, things seem to be good. At the time of
writing Linux Kernel Linux-2.6.18.8 is building itself.
Q. How to build Xen-3.2 without Mercurial tools ?
Many Thanks for your help.

You don''t. Due to a really, really, badly designed build process,
mercucial
and a few other tools you might not expect are required, and required at
recent versions. Even if you have the repositories on your filesystem and
it doesn''t need to actually download anything, it will barf if
mercucial
isn''t present.

Xdub, I can get you past your compile errors, I believe, even to the point of installing the kernel, but I have not as yet been able to get the kernel to actually boot on Slackware 12. Here is what I''ve done to get to the point of booting, and if you can get past this to a working boot, then I''d love to hear how you got it accomplished:> 1.) Install Slackware 12 with X and all development packages, ext3 filesystem. > 2.) Install swaret for slackware updates, modify the config and run: > a.) swaret --update > b.) swaret --upgrade > 3.) Install grub: swaret --install grub > 4.) Run grubconfig > 5.) Reboot and verify grub install > 6.) Download and untar xen-3.2.0.tar.gz > 7.) Run hg clone -r 406 http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg > 8.) cd xen-3.2.0 > 9.) Run make world and then make install > 10.) vi /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the kernel as a boot optionLet me know if you get a compiled kernel after that. Then, if you boot successfully, let me know how you did it! :-) Thanks, Steven G.

Hi Steve, With version 3.1.3 of Xen, I am able to boot until this error message, then the server reboot. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** ** WARNING: Currently emulating unsupported memory accesses ** ** in /lib/tls glibc libraries. The emulation is ** ** slow. To ensure full performance you should ** ** install a ''xen-friendly'' (nosegneg) version of ** ** the library, or disable tls support by executing ** ** the following as root: ** ** mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled ** ** Offending process: init (pid=1) ** *************************************************************** *************************************************************** But on Slackware there is no "tls" under "/lib" neither under "/usr/lib". I read on Gentoo doc that we can disable "tls" flag by setting this CFLAGS="-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" before compilling the kernel (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo) So, I am going to try, and rebuild a customized kernel. To make things more difficult, I am on XFS filesystem (mkinitrd resolved this issue). No need to install "swaret" for GNU GRUB support, version 0.97 do its job, even with XFS filesystem. Just follow the step by step instructions found on GNU GRUB documentation ... ;-) I keep you informed with version 3.1.3 before to make another try with version 3.2.

You have to set this flag and then recompile WHOLE system, not only the kernel. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
