list,

Ubuntu 11.10 has kernel-3.0-0 (since about a week) and its ready for dom0. The important dom0 modules needed for domU are built `=m` and they must be loaded at startup for xen to work and create domU.

11.10 is changing quickly and I have no development packages installed yet.
It seemed frugal to try some 4.0.x builds that succeeded on 11.04 where python2.7 is stock - same with 11.10.

This required using xen-4.0.x/install.sh while in 11.04 with 11.10 fs mounted and running the install script.

I tried first with xen-4.0.2, but failed after trying for 2 hours to get it working.
4.0.1 worked after a few easy mods.

There is a problem with /dist/install as applies to Ubuntu, where we have
`ls /usr` ->
bin  games  include  lib  lib64  local  sbin  share  src

the directory list is flat. lib64 is also a dir, not a symlink to lib.

to fix it.
--------
cd ./dist/install/usr
cp -a ./lib64/* ./lib
rm -rf ./lib64

then `sh ./install.sh /mnt` does the right thing, where /mnt is the destination fs.

Patch set for 11.04
-------------
to build xen-4.0.1 on 11.04 requited this patch set:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/544701/

although xend starts in 11.10, there is an xmlrpc bug fixed via this
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01104.html

preload modules for dom0
--------
$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
