[Xen-users] Re: No VMX-guests on Intel Xeon/VT

[Thorolf Godawa <Thorolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

OK, I've installed possibly all needed packages on SL10.1b2 but the 
VNC-stuff still is not working :-(
So right now I'm downloading the latest SLES 10-beta-code from the 
Novell-side and hopefully it is working with that - this is plan A!
Plan B is compiling XEN by myself, so acording to the docs I've 
installed the following (or it was already installed):
python-devel, zlib-devel, LibVNCServer, SDL-devel, bridge-utils, 
iproute2, udev, dev86-0.16.0-187.i586.rpm
Then I downloaded and untared xen-3.0.1-src.tgz, to build it I'm doing:

# make KERNELS=linux-2.6-xen world > make01.log

The first part seems to run without problems, at least I don't find 
errors or warnings in the log:

  make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/xen/2install/xen301/xen-3.0.1'
------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't matter that the "host CPU" is an "amd64" if in truth its a 
Xeon with EM64T?
And what means "target list       target-i386-dm", does it mean that the 
compiled binaries are only for i386? I need them for x86-64, if it's not 
correct where do I change it?
Unfortunately only the first part of the compilation runs, then I get:

------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

I'm not a c-programmer, so possibly I'm not goinig to fix this in the 
sources or is there s.th. else wrong in the way I'm going to compile the 
package for me?
Again thanks a lot for all the help I got in these news-groups!

Chau y hasta luego,
