[Xen-users] make-kpkg (Debian based tool) does not build xen patched kernel
Hello list,
I cannot get make-kpkg to build a Xenlinux type kernel into a Debian kernel
binary on my Debian Squeeze x86_64 system.
I
am using GNU/Linux kernel sources tree (2.6.34.4) with Xen patches for
this custom kernel. I am trying to use the make-kpkg command to build a
working linux-image-2.6.34.4-xen-amd64 package for my system.
The
sources are vanilla (available from kernel.org) with patches available
from:
http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.34-4.tar.bz2
These
sources compile a Xenlinux kernel and not a pv_ops one so the bug
report for XEN and the kernel-package is not applicable
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574957)
It
seems that when the kernel_image target is used, a
System.map-2.6.34.4-xen can not be generated, and therefore a FATAL
error causes the make-kpkg process to fail!
A System.map-2.6.34.4-xen can be generated when the kernel is built and packaged
into a Debian binary with make deb-pkg.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Apologies for slightly O/T on this, as I can''t provide any help. I would like to ask why you don''t want to use pvops squeeze kernel? is it missing something you need? (hardware in kernel >2.6.32?)

Also I understand performance is better with the Xenlinux Dom0 kernels, although the pvops one has come a long way in terms of performance :) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] make-kpkg (Debian based tool) does not build xen patched kernel
I don''t see your exact errors but if our make-kpkg build issues are the same then I am pretty sure my makefile hack still works on 2.6.34 + andrew''s patches. Check out attached file; you would apply it with ''patch -p0 < makefile.hack'' while inside the kernel source directory.

P.S. It looks like Win32 Thunderbird mail client has added windows line endings upon attaching it to the previous email.

But, Did Andrew Lyon''s release these patches somewhere publicly on the internet? (e.g: Along with the Google gentoo-patches site somewhere?)
