Hi
Thanks a lot.
What confuses me, is that ( if I correctly understand the Makefile ) ,
the option
"KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" in the command :

make world "KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU"

causes the build of two (older ) kernels 2.6.18 ( one for dom0 and a
lighter version domU for the guests ) . But without any option in make
world , _no_ kernel is built at all and I have to use the one that comes
with the distribution ( in the debian case linux-image-2.6-xen-686 ).
Its a more recent one  ( 2.6.26-1 ) . Is there no way ( no need ) to
build this kernel from the xen Makefile ?

I guess, I am missing something ?
Peter
