Re: [Xen-users] Compiling Xen-3.2.0

["Edoardo Ceccarelli" <eddy@xxxxxx>]

thanks to everybody but I am giving up, I managed to compile xen on two servers so far, everything was smooth..
not with this F@#.#ING HP laptop, I tried basically everything and I was indeed updating the correct .config

Problem
might be in a conflict in the sata section, somewhere around modules
pata_atiixp and ahci, so if I enable the old ATA disk access it asks me
for the sata_sil, so I enable the scsi and sata_sil and it asks me
pata_atiixp ............it's a loop!
Then I found this page
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
and I believe the problem it's only about finding the correct combination of modules for my sata implementation.
anyone managed to install xen 3.2 on a laptop (with sata) ?

My advice is to use go to the Linux kernel source, use whatever make
target you want and add "O=$BUILDDIR".

For example:
% root# cd linux-2.6-git
% root# make menuconfig O=../build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64

Hope this helps.
