[Pkg-xen-devel] how to compile a xen dom0 kernel the debian way

[Jonas Meurer]

hello,

What is the current situation with xen on amd64? the debian/sid archive
keeps no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64, and I was not able to compile
a 2.6.22 dom0 kernel with debian xen patches applied on my amd64 system.


I have linux-source-2.6.22 and linux-patch-debian-2.6.22 installed, and
followed the instructions from the workaround for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699

Then I built the kernel:

# make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \
        -1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen clean
# make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \
        -1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen kernel_image

And indeed some patches seem to be applied (see below). But i still
don't see any xen options in menuconfig. Maybe the 2.6.22 xen patches
are for i386 only and not ported to amd64 yet?
That would also explain why no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64 package
exists in debian/unstable.

output of 'make-kpkg ... --added-patches xen kernel_image':

so how do you compile a xen dom0 host-kernel for amd64? is it possible
with recent kernel sources at all?

Please Cc me in your replies, as i'm not subscribed to the list.

thanks in advance,
