Re: [Xen-users] Building XEN with different config PROBLEM

["Chris Fanning" <christopher.fanning@xxxxxxxxx>]

After using your script the kernel compiled my options and I have booted xen3.1
I didn't delete /usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src
Now if I do
cd  /usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src
make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig

It reads the config I saved first time round
So I add a module or something and do
make linux-2.6-xen0-build

All is good.

So it seems the part that doesn't work as expected is the first time
config and compile.
but running /usr/src/steffen.sh is a work around.

Thanks.
Chris.
