[Xen-users] Compiling Custom Xen kernel in Ubuntu--Try #2

[Steven Anderson <hikenboot@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to copy my config from my exisiting kernel to xen I have a procedure but i believe it to be imperfect..can anyone help with this?
 
 my existing kernel is 2.6.12-10-386
 
 I copied config-2.6.12-10-386 from /boot to ~/xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0/.config
 
 sudo make oldconfig ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3
 
 I do a    sudo make menuconfig ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3           in the ~/xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0 directory 
 
 Options for Dom0 kernel to make sure are selected
 
 Privileged Guest (domain 0) (XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
 Physical device access (XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS) [Y/?] (NEW) y
   Block-device backend driver (XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
   Network-device backend driver (XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
 Block-device frontend driver (XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
 Network-device
 frontend driver (XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
   Pipelined transmitter (DANGEROUS) (XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND_PIPELINED_TRANSMITTER) [N/y/?] (NEW)
 Scrub memory before freeing it to Xen (XEN_SCRUB_PAGES) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
 
 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK y
 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEGENERIC y
 CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED y
 
 Also DMA access by hard drives should be enabled...

 what comes here?
 
 sudo make ARCH=xen CC=gcc-3.3 HOSTCC=gcc-3.3 ??? If so is this done in the /linux-2.6.16-rc5-xen0 directory or in the root directory xen-unstable.hg????? 
 
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda
 sudo hdparm -v /dev/hda
 sudo hdparm  -d1 -c1 -u1 /dev/hda <-------if this gives an error then ide_dma is not enabled in kernel config
 
 sudo mkinitrd -o
 /boot/initrd-2.6.16-rc5-xen0.img 2.6.16-rc5-xen0
 
  cd /lib/modules
  sudo depmod 2.6.16-rc6-xen0
