Ok, so dropping back a step. Let's assume that I build the 3.2.0 XEN hypervisor and dom0 kernel using 2.6.18 as base. I should then be able to build domU kernel(s) using the linux-source-2.6.25 files? How? I can't seem to get CONFIG_XEN set in my .config file. Running "make menuconfig" does not show any xen-specific options. Regards /Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
