Xen users - Oct 2009 - Is there any way to make 2.6.31.4 work with XEN?

Hi,
[Can you please recommend me some stable linux release and xen version to
work.]

I am facing this error while kernel compilation. I am using 2.6.31.4 from
Jeremys git tree. I am having amd64 hardware.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `processor_cntl_xen_prepare'':
(.text+0x5df52): undefined reference to `acpi_processor_get_
performance_info''
drivers/built-in.o: In function `processor_cntl_xen_prepare'':
(.text+0x5df71): undefined reference to `acpi_processor_get_psd''
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ah/xennew/kernel/linux-2.6-xen''
make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2


I am building kernel latest 2.6.31.4 kernel FOR XEN from jeremy''s git
tree.
I am on amd64 architecture.

If I change the following parameter to ''y'' then kernel
compiles
successfully.
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m

The following parameter is set as ''y'' in my config

CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN=y

But I do not know whether this is the correct way of handling this error or
not. Because if I compile and install this kernel and then compile and
instal xen 3.4.1 over it then xen hangs on the reboot.

Any help will be more than welcome.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the reply. I managed to run XEN 3.4.1 on 2.6.31.4 kernel. I
posted the procedure in my other post as well.
