Hi all,
Here is what I have right now. I've played with xen a little bit. Last
week I was able to do the following:
1) Install Fedora Core 4 Test 1 on an Intel PIII system with a gig a ram
in it.
2) Run yum update on the devel repositories
3) I found that I was having a little difficulty finding kernel-xen0 and
kernel-xenU to get pulled from the mirror list of yum repositories off of
fedora's site.
4) I finally found that Fedora's download server had it in the development
section. I pointed my yum repositories to fedora's site and was able to
install the kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU packages.
5) I rebooted and had xen available. I ran /etc/init.d/xend start and was
able to use xm create to create some domains
Things seemed to work great until rebooted one of the domains via a login
through an ssh connection.
python pegged the CPU and for about 5 minutes my cpu was pegged. I killed
that process and thus killed xend.
So my next step was to wipe my Fedora Core 4 Test 1 machine and install
Fedora Core 3 instead (since the HOWTO's were using that version to base
their HOWTO's on).
So, I regened the server as Fedora Core 3, ran yum update and noticed that
this time, yum updated me to gcc 4.0 amongst other things.
1) I went on the hunt for kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU again and could not
find anything available anywhere... mind you, this is approximately a
week after I found it before.
2) I decided to do the build myself from scratch. I downloaded the latest
xen-unstable source and tried to run "make dist" on it. This is what I
recieved:

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting past this? I also tried the
stable release and testing release and have similar errors.
