Xen users - Nov 2009 - building unmodified_drivers on a recent kernel

Hey folks,

I''m trying to build unmodified_drivers on a recent kernel
(2.6.27.39-0.0.0.2.a1d3483-xen), but I''m failing on platform-pci.  Is
there a better version to use?  Maybe I don''t understand the build
instructions.

Thanks in advance,

C.J.

I built the 2.6.31.5 kernel from here and got the attached error.  I
think I''m getting closer...  Any hints?

>From the log I would judge that your source tree is a forward ported one,
and you try to build the drivers against a kernel that was built for Xen (i.e.
CONFIG_XEN enabled) - which makes no sense. You want the unmodified
drivers explicitly for anything *but* Xen-enabled configurations.

I wonder if this question would be better received on this list...?

Log file and .config don''t match up - there''s no
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT in
the config file, yet the log file reports that the symbol is defined in
autoconf.h. You may have a stale tree.
>Perhaps you have a working one I might be able to try?
Just try any of the ones we ship with SLE11 (should be in
kernel-source.rpm, but you could also simply grab them from a running
kernel''s /proc/config.gz).
