Xen users - Mar 2009 - Debian Lenny - how compiling new Dom0 xen kernel??

Hi,

I''m trying to install Xen on a Debian Lenny machine.
The machine made already some troubles with ATA hard drives, which
means I need a relatively new kernel with ata_piix module

I found only a instruction for 2.6.11 kernel on http://www.option-c.com
Is there a way to install for example a 2.6.26 kernel compiled by
myself for a 32 bit machine?

I''m not really familiar with kernel compilation, thats also a problem
right now ....
Is someone able to describe a easy way how to do it or does someone know a link?
The problem seems to be well known but I couldn''t find a solution :(

Thx in advance for any help or further information so I can progress
with my work

david

You do not need to compile it yourself.

apt-cache search xen-linux-system

set that up...

To compile the kernel on Lenny, you can:

1) Put some deb-src lines on /etc/apt/sources.list
2) apt-get update ; apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.26
3) mkdir ~/linux-debian ; cd ~/linux-debian
4) apt-get source linux-source-2.6.26
5) cd llinux-2.6-2.6.26
6) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
  Wait a lot...
7) ls -l ..

Done!

Good luck!
