Hi:
Please refer to http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt.
steps:
1. download the xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
2. tar -zxf xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
3. Download kernel code by
"http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt"
4. cd to folder xen-3.3.1
5. make prep-kernels.
6. run other make commands you want.( you can get help by "make help")
enjoy your time :)

The boot menu for xen kernel is a little different with normal Linux kernel.
Please change your boot menu refer this example:
title Centos-2.6.18(2.6.18)
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18.8-1 vga=gfx-1280x1024x16
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-1xen ro root=/dev/sdb5
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-1xen.img
This boot menu works on my workstation.
the parameter vga indicate that, to enable frame buffer in booting(or text
mode).This need your kernel supports. Please select the frame buffer support in
kernel configuration.
For the kernel configuration, after you implement "make prep-kernels"
, a new kernel folder will be generated under xen-3.3.x. (named
build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32 for my build.). Just run "make
menuconfig" in this new kernel folder. You can customize your new kernel
now, and command "make kernels" in folder xen-3.3.x can build the new
kernels.
Best Regards!

You
do not need to compile entire Xen and a dom0 kernel if you are running
Debian Lenny...
Just install Debian Lenny and to install Xen, run:
apt-get install xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-686
reboot

Hi
I was wondering what is the official procedure to compile Xen 3.3.1. In
fact the readme that comes with this release says:
make world
make install
however, this does not copy the compiled vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686
into /boot
it seems that I have to run
./install.sh
as well.
if instead I say:
make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6.-xenU"
as suggested in the readme and in the users manual, I will get:
vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 and vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xenU ( note the different
versions )
also , the xen download site talks about 2.6.18.-8 and not ( yet )
about 2.6.26.1
in a recent mail , the following procedure was suggested:
Hi:
Please refer to http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt.
steps:
1. download the xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
2. tar -zxf xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
3. Download kernel code by
"http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt"
4. cd to folder xen-3.3.1
5. make prep-kernels.
6. run other make commands you want.( you can get help by "make help")
enjoy your time :)
Shunli
My questions are:
on a fresh debian lenny system:
1) what is the recommend installation command sequence ?
2) what is the recommend kernel version for dom0 and domU ?
Thanks very much for your help

Hi
Thanks very much for your help.
In fact, I wanted to compile myself to better understand xen and also
because I will ultimately want to build a custom kernel with xen.
I also think it could benefit to other users if installation
instructions were consolidated in the different places where they
appear. For example, the README of the latest 3.3.1 tarball suggest ,
that you call
make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU"
however the Installation
instructions on the web reads as follows:
... Many
users will be better off using the "-xen" kernel instead of
"-xen0" and
"-xenU" kernels. ....
In fact, the usage of the make world command is not suggested !
I did the following to successfully install xen 3.3.1 on debian lenny.
This is adapted from
thoandswelt.blogspot.com/2008/10/xen-33-installation-auf-debian-etch.html
( in german ) and maybe it would be useful for people new to xen to
have something clear and straigthforward on the xen website ( maybe its
already there but I missed it ... )
(my) Installation Instructions for xen 3.3.1 on a pristine debian
lenny 5.0.0 ( please notify if this is incorrect ) :
aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade
aptitude install build-essential mercurial gawk libx11-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
gettext ncurses-dev python-dev iproute
bridge-utils texinfo pciutils-dev
wget
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.3.1/xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
tar xvzpf xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
cd xen-3.3.1
make world && make dist
./install.sh
aptitude install linux-image-xen-686
add this to /boot/grub/menu.lst

I think by this you will not be able to compile hvm support. When I remember right, you need bcc and bin86 installed and it''s not part of build-essential. But I might be wrong...check whether hvmloader is built. BR, Carsten. You wrote: Hi Thanks very much for your help.

What confuses me, is that ( if I correctly understand the Makefile ) , the option "KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" in the command : make world "KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" causes the build of two (older ) kernels 2.6.18 ( one for dom0 and a lighter version domU for the guests ) . But without any option in make world , _no_ kernel is built at all and I have to use the one that comes with the distribution ( in the debian case linux-image-2.6-xen-686 ). Its a more recent one ( 2.6.26-1 ) . Is there no way ( no need ) to build this kernel from the xen Makefile ? I guess, I am missing something ?

Is there no way ( no need ) to > build this kernel from the xen Makefile ? - as far as I know - The 2.6-xen was patched to work as Xen-Dom0, but the "real" Xen-Dom0-Kernel is still 2.6.18.8. I personally would try 2.6-xen and switch to 2.6.18.8 if you run into trouble.
