Re: [Xen-users] poor IDE buffered disk reads on dom0

Hi Anand,

I've been trying to cut down on the number of modules compiled for the
_first_ time I compile xen.

So vi Makefile
Change
KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU
to
KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen

then

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make KERNELS=linux-2.6-xen world
make install

but this doesn't take any notice of my config and compiles everything.

The README does say
3. For the very first build, or if you want to destroy existing
    # make KERNELS=linux-2.6-xen world
    # make install

5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:
    # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
    # make linux-2.6-xen-build
    # make linux-2.6-xen-install

Does that mean that I have to compile everything the first time round?
My ignorance is shining through :(

Thanks again.
Chris.
