I followed these steps to get 3.3 installed on a CentOS 5.2 machine: # wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.3.0/xen-3.3.0.tar.gz # tar xvcf xen-3.3.0.tar.gz # cd xen-3.3.0 # make tools # make xen # make install-tools # make install-xen Development deps were all meet, everything compiled w/o error. Used yum to install kernel-xen bridge-utils bridge-utils gtk-vnc (did I need that?) Edited grub to use 3.3''s hypervisor. chkconfig xend on After a reboot, netbk, xenblk, blktap, blkbk, and netloop modules were not loaded, so moprobe''ing them in got everything working. What''s the right way to get this accomplished? Thanks, jlc _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

What''s the right way to get this accomplished?Your method should work. If you like, you could use the source archive and this spec I hacked together to build rpms. ftp://mirrors.dtint.com/pub/linux/xen/xen3.3.0.spec I''m running it on a secondary node, but with no domU''s yet... (primary is xen 3.2.1 built the same way.) jerry -- There''s plenty of youth in America - it''s time we find the "fountain of smart". _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I also tried to hack together a spec but noticed right off I didn''t know what patches to comment out and how. I see you did (how did you deduce this?). It compiled and built rpms, thanks!! How would you also remove the libvirt/dnsmasq pre reqs? Is that easy? One question I am still searching for is how to load modules repeatable across reboots? What''s the correct way to do this?

They built w/o issue but the system I am testing on already has the Previous build and when I edited grub I noticed the naming issue, so I haven''t bothered testing the new build.

I''ll do the same, and remove/install the rpm''s when I get a chance. jerry -- There''s plenty of youth in America - it''s time we find the "fountain of smart". _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
