RE: [Xen-users] Make error

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

getting another problem now.

 

I can now use menuconfig and select the bits to install.

 

I then issue command make which takes a while but completes.  I then issue make install which also completes

 

I then

 

cd../

ictsrv:/usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src

make install

 

 

goes quite a way through then brings up this error

 

if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b / -r 2.6.18-xen; fi

Ive tried everything i can think of

 

make clean

make clean install

make mrproper

deleted all 3.1 files out from /boot

 

even removed the whole source directory and  started again, still no joy.  Any ideas?

 

thanks

 

Ian

I just went through the "obvious" steps of "trying to build just the
kernel", which meant "make menuconfig" on a "clean" Linux-2.6.18, which
in turn meant that the config file isn't set up for Xen (I noticed that
it wasn't before I tested it, so I just guessed that was the problem -
which I then proved by changing it and, as you say, it compiles).

The reason it fails is that the patches that Xen apply modifies some
things. In this case, a macro that would in native mode compile nicely,
but now turns into something that can't be used in asm-offsets in Xen.
