Xen users - Oct 2009 - Unable to compile xen-unstable (git error)

Hi everyone,

I''ve been trying to compile the latest xen-unstable and have been
running into problems with git.

I checked out xen-unstable using hg clone. Everything there is up to date.

"make world" seems to be working fine up to this point:

walk a2a9537ac0b37a5da6fbe7e1e9cb06c524d2a9c4
error: Unable to find 714ed0cf62319b14dc327273a7339a9a199fe046 under
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git

make[2]: *** [linux-2.6-pvops.git/.valid-src] Error 128
...
...

At the same time, on a separate directory, I checked out the latest
linux-2.6-xen from
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git xen/master

That checkout worked just fine and I was able to build the kernel in
that directory without any problems.

Any suggestions on how to get "make world" to work? Alternatively, is
it possible to point the xen build script to use the already-compiled
kernel?

Thanks!

There may be a simpler explanation to this, but here''s what I did and
why.
I assumed that the kernel build within Xen is currently broken for
whatever reason so I built the dom0 kernel separately.

(If anyone can shed some light on why, I''d like to know as well)

To get the xen build to stop building the kernel (as per the README) you can do:
export KERNELS=""
Then it builds xen/xen-tools and no kernel.
