xen comes with a sparse tree (new files for the kernel source) and a set of
patches for a kernel.

What you'll have to do is:
1) copy the sparse tree into your kernel dir (no files should be overwritten
by this)
(or the other way round, copy the kernel dir into the sparse tree)
2) apply the patches to your kernel source.

You don't have to be in your xen sourcedir to do that, you also could leave
the kernel in /usr/src and patch + copy there.

Greetings,

Hi Guys,

Ignore my message. It was a silly mistake on my part.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

However. I do have problem now with compiling it. I get the following
error when running `make dist`:

[ -d /root/xen/xen-2.0/dist/install/usr/share/man/man8 ] || \

Would anyone know what this is.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I managed to solve the problem below. Just for the record I had to
install pyhton-devel.

A question arose during the compilation. While compiling it downloaded
the 2.6.11 kernel from kernel.org, and compiled it successfully. The
issue I have is that I want a 2.4 kernel both for xen0 and xenU, can
anyone suggest how I can do this?

Thanks
Shaz
