Xen users - Mar 2013 - setup issue / "did you run git update-server-info on the server?"

Hello,

I''m having problem with getting Xen 4.1 set up on Fedora 12 x64.

Here''s what I''ve done so far:

export GIT_HTTP=y
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-4.1-testing.hg
cd /root/xen-4.1-testing.hg
make -j8 world
make –j8 install

And when trying to get the menuconfig option:

make linux-2.6-pvops-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig

It would proceed but eventually stop showing following error message:


...
+ git clone -o xen -n
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp
Cloning into linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp...
fatal: http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git/info/refs
not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
make[1]: *** [linux-2.6-pvops.git/.valid-src] Error 128
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.1-testing.hg''
make: *** [linux-2.6-pvops-config] Error 2
[root@localhost xen-4.1-testing.hg]#


When checked manually for that link
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git/info/refs)
there is no ''refs'' folder indeed (only a file named exclude).
Where''s
the catch?

Thank you,
Karel

Isn't Fedora 12 rather ancient? Fedora ~17+ have Xen packages and Xen
enabled in their kernel packages.

This tree is hosted on kernel.org not xen.org so there isn't much we
here can do about any issue with it.

However, apart from using newer Fedora, I don't think you really want to
be using that tree anyway. Instead of using "make linux-2.6-pvops-config
CONFIGMODE=menuconfig" I'd suggest using either a distro packaged
kernel
(preferred) or any recent mainline kernel. See
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenDom0Kernels
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Mainline_Linux_Kernel_Configs etc.

Yes, it is. It''s just that I''m following Intel''s
verification guide
(step-by-step stuff, that''s the reason for make linux-2.6-pvops-config
CONFIGMODE=menuconfig) which prescribes Fedora 12 or 13.

Thanks Ian.
