Hi,

I tried a little bit with loading it as a module but then I choose to
bind it directly into the kernel and that works perfect for me.
(cd /usr/src/xen*/*xenU/;make ARCH=xen menuconfig -> M -> *;cd ..;make
kernels)

If anyone acctually was able to load it as a module I'm interested in.

Hi there

Sorry really rookie question, but all I have is the Xen-2.0 dir I dont
have the source xen kernel anywhere at least not the domU.

where do I get that from ?

Thanks

If you get the installer from
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads.html, it will
be UNDER the xen-2.0 dir. Something like xen-2.0/linux-2.6.11-xenU.

As for getting modules, you should copy /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-xenU/
(assuming you use Xen-2.0.6) from you dom-0 (e.g. physical host) to your
dom-U filesystem.

Personally I prefer Frieder's way, compile everything that I need in
dom-U built-in into the kernel, not as modules. I also use symbolic
links to specify the kernel for domU, e.g. something like this on a
domain's config file :

kernel="/etc/xen/kernel/linux"

and /etc/xen/kernel/linux is a symbolic link to linux-2.6.11-xenU-HS20
(I use my own dom-U kernel).

That way a kernel (or Xen) upgrade is simply a matter of changing the
symlink in dom0 and rebooting domU as necessary, without having to touch
domU's filesystems.

Regards,

Fajar

These are the only files within the xen-2.0 dir, no mention of the DomU
(this is from a fresh tar zxf )

there is a mention of it in buildconfigs ?

Im sorry but when it comes to messing with Kernels Im hopeless.

That was from a fresh SOURCE tgz
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0.6-src.tgz).
The question is, how did you get Xen running in the first place?
Possibilities are
- Official installer
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0.6-install-x86_32.tgz).
You will have linux-2.6.11-xenU from there.
- Building from source. On your xen-2.0 dir, run make dist and make
install. You will find linux-2.6.11-xenU after running make dist.
- From your OS binary (e.g RPM, deb, etc.). There should be a package
that holds the modules and source code.

The point is, your kernel and modules must match (I think gcc versions
must match too). So if you rebuild xen manually from source, you may
have to replace your current running kernel with the one you built.

Fajar

I download this, however what I didnt appreciate is that Instead of
just doing the "make world" to get to be able to change the XenU you
need to do a "make dist" cd into the xenU dir and the do a make
menuconfig ARCH=xen, make the appropriate changed then cd..

do a make dist and the a make install, and hey presto the sucker worked.

thanks for bearing with me, but I just needed the instructions,
understand came after that.

Thanks
