[CentOS-virt] build custom domU kernel from centos kernel source
Hi, i am trying to build a custom xen kernel from CentOS source kernel rpm . What i want to achieve is to have custom domU kernel without modules, which will boot domU machine without having /lib/modules . My first try is to simple disable Loadable module support , so i have followed tutorial on CentOS wiki for kernel building http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel . Now it is building, my question is will it work? - again all i have done is to disabled loadable module support. Can someone please point me to sucessfull end? Thanks in advance!

Besides that it is not supported, you don't get the comfort of automatic kernel security updates. Take care, Daniel PS. Please refrain from cross-posting.
