Hi thers! How do I build custom XEN kernels?
I did read the documentation, but it did not help much. /usr/share/doc/xen-utils-3.0.3-1/README.Debian.gz says this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Should you want to roll your own kernel this is the way you do it. First download from http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xen/ the kernel patch for your version of xen. Then download the relevant kernel from kernel.org, apply the patch, configure and build your kernel in the standard way (with kernel package). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, here come the problems. 1. I can not find any patches at the given address. Looking a bit harder, I found the page http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30894 (but this page does not seem to be linked from http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xen/ ), which does indeed contain patches, but there is no 3.0.3 version. 2. I find the instructions above somewhat strange. Whe do I have to download anything from kernel.org? Should not it be possible to build anything from linux-source-2.6.18, or at least from the linux-2.6 source package? (The binary XEN kernels are built from the linux-2.6 source package, too.) Thank you for your help! Kristof Csillag
