Re: [Xen-users] Building Vanilla source 2.6.31.4 with XEN hypervisor

[Ahmad Hassan <ahmad.hassan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Teo. I would like to know if I follow the above way of installing pvops dom0, Then how can we tell that it downloads the 2.6.31.4 not any other release. How can we specify that.

Build PV Ops Kernel

1. cd /usr/src/kernels
2. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen
3. cd linux-2.6-xen
4. git checkout origin/xen-tip/master -b xen-tip/master
5. make menuconfig (Check the Xen options, I’m too tired to go over them all)
6. make
7. make modules_install install

Thanks.

Hi,

You cannot use vanilla 2.6.31.4 kernel source for Xen as it only
supports pvops domU. You need to patch vanilla 2.6.31.4 kernel source
for dom0 functionality.

Alternatively, get the pvops dom0 kernel 2.6.31.4 from Jeremy's git tree.
