[Xen-users] Re: how to compile a xen kernel on fedora core 1 - update

[Shahzad Chohan <shahzad.chohan@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
