Hi all,
I am running fedora 11 under xen on a VPS machine (so I have a limited control
on the machine)
I am playing with openswan and KLIPS and I need to build the ipsec.ko kernel
module.
I would need to download kernel source but I am really confused about what
source I have to get.
uname -r tells:
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen
ls /lib/modules tells:
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen
I have no sources in /usr/src/kernels
Is there a source code named "2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen" which I can
download or should I install kernel-devel source using yum?
If I used yum I would download 2.6.30.9...
yum info kernel-devel
Available Packages
Name : kernel-devel
Arch : i586
Version : 2.6.30.9
Release : 96.fc11
Size : 6.3 M
Repo : updates
Summary : Development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel
URL : http://www.kernel.org/
License : GPLv2
Description: This package provides kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to
build modules
: against the kernel package.
and kernel.org has only source code from 2.6.18.1 to 2.6.18.8
Could you explain me how "kernel" is seen on xen?
Thanks
Mauro

You need to download and install CentoOS RPM 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen Or use SRPM of that.

Also, you might want to use a VM for openswan... not a good idea to have your xen host running services other than Xen.
