Re: [Xen-users] Can someone please build a Xen 3.2 rpm for CentOS 5.1x64?



_______________________________________________
Thanx Tom, I read through that thread, but saw that it was talking about ia64, and AFAIK, Itanim 64 isn't the same as amd64 / x86_64 so I ddint' think it would work on my machine.
see below copied from that link for the solution - this is not for 
itanium, not sure where you got that idea from


I was looking for *xen* *3*.*2* 64bit for the similar reason (*32* bit
domU
 crashes on 64bit dom0).I tried to build the source *rpm* of *xen* *3*.*2*
 (downloaded from

http://bits.*xensource*.com/oss-*xen*/release/*3*.*2*.0/*centos*-5.1/*xen*-*3*.*2*.0-0xs.*centos5*.src.*rpm* <http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.2.0/centos-5.1/xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.src.rpm>) using
 *rpmbuild* on a *CentOS* 5.1(x86_64), and I got the below error:

 *RPM* build errors:
     Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
    /usr/lib/*xen*/boot/hvmloader

 Please let me know the changes required for building the src.*rpm* on 64
 bit system?

 I was curious to know about the existing installation and I found that
 the package *xen*-*3*.0.*3*-41.el5-x86_64, installs all the binaries and
 libs in /usr/lib64/*xen*, but puts the hvmloader in /usr/lib/*xen*!

 Thanks,
 Vinod
Huh. Interesting. RedHat's SRPM's are a bit more sophisticated than
those for *Xensource*, traditionally, so I'm not shocked you found a
discrepancy building it for x86_64. Perhaps you can review the
differences in the .spec files and see how RedHat did it?

Solved, the problem was the /usr/lib/*xen*/hvmloader line was commented in *xen*.spec file. Now I have the *xen*-*3*.*2*.0-0xs *rpms*. Now I have a silly question Should I rebuild the Linux kernel available @ *xen*.org <http://xen.org> to get *xen* *3*.*2* up or will it work with *CentOS* kernel?
