Hi folks,

I'm trying to do a custom Xen kernel build of Fedora core 3 that install VLAN support.

I've grabbed the kernel config files from the source rpm for the Fedora 3 kernel, and renaming the appropriate one " *i686-smp* " to .config, have done a make ARCH=xen oldconfig.


The problem is that only a few of the fedora core 3 config settings are used, and I end up guessing on the remaining values. Not only does this take forever, but I'd like to get the config as close as possible to the original Fedora Core 3 one, and this approach isn't likely to do that.

Besides installing the Fedora Core 4 test version of the kernel (and taking on any unknown incompatibilities), do anyone have any advice on doing an efficient make oldconfig on a Fedora Core 3 kernel?



thanx,

rob
