[Xen-users] How to obtain a stable Dom0 kernel with pciback.
Hi, What is the easiest way of obtaining a stable pvops dom0 kernel that has the pciback module in it? Last time I did this I download a git tree by following a tutorial but found the process isn''t repeatable. i.e. I repeated the tutorial but have a different kernel version than before (and missing pciback). I originally followed "Downloading the git tree" from http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps. What I don''t like about this method is that for general users you''re downloading 800+MB''s of sources. It''d be great if I could repeatably get the version I want without downloading the git tree. The kernel source from one revision is much smaller than that. How do I go about just getting the one version I want to build with the pciback module?
