Re: [Xen-devel] How can I make Xen work with a patched kernel?

["Liang Yang" <multisyncfe991@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks. Still have two questions:
1. Actually there are two different ways to make Xen build with patched 
kernel. One is to put patches into patches directory before doing make world 
as you suggest, the other is to patch the Xen Linux kernel directly after 
make world is done and then do make again (build a custom Xen kernel). Do 
you think if these two methods will bring the same results?
2. Currently each Xen version is bound to a specific Linux kernel version. 
Suppose Xen support Linux kernel 2.6.16. now I want to make it support Linux 
kernel 2.6.17-rc6. Can I also put the prepatch file for 2.6.17-rc6 kernel 
into patches directory and then Xen will be able to support this newer 
kernel version?
Best regards,

Liang
