Hi there guys I''m following this how-to http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps So good so far, make menuconfig. I set it up to my needs , then the docs reads some grub examples, my question is, how do I create the xen-4.0.gz file? the process stated in the doc is only for the xen kernel. Did I myself clear? Long time ago there were the make tools, make xen, and so on, one day I updated from git and those options there were anymore. Any help on this? Thanks for your time and support Regards _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You did not mentioned your OS where you are doing. I use Ubuntu wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz Move the downloaded xen-4.0.1 tar ball to /usr/src. Unpack Xen hypervisor to /usr/src directory sudo tar -xzvf xen-4.0.1.tar.gz At this point you should see a directory xen-4.0.1 in /usr/src Now go inside the Xen-4.0.1 folder and do following sudo make xen sudo make tools sudo make stubdom Then sudo make install-xen sudo make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARGsudo make install-stubdom Now at this point you should have in /boot directory following files xen-4.0.gz xen-4.gz xen.gz and Xen is installed on your laptop.But it is not usable at this point.Now you need to compile a Dom0 kernel. some places on internet you will find a step make world <- Do not use it if you are using make menuconfig sort of approach because then you are compiling a Dom0 kernel yourself. -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I need to compile my own kernel because with the default Debian xen stuff I''ve got issues with my video driver (xorg) and other stuff, I used to have gentoo a week ago, but got some issued that leaded me to switch to anoother distro, I opted for debian, the reasons are out of scope. Silly me, did no download the xen source code!!! too much work need some coffee!! maybe some rest.!

I''m getting this error xm list Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 5, in <module> from xen.xm import main ImportError: No module named xen.xm Any idea? if I make a find xen.xm, cannot find a thing., maybe I''m missing something, I''m installing from source. make world make install from the xen.4.0.1 directory. Debian squeeze. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
