[Xen-users] compiling Xen 3.3.1 on Lenny



Hi
I was wondering what is the official procedure to compile Xen 3.3.1. In fact the readme that comes with this release says:
make world
make install

however, this does not copy the compiled vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686 into /boot
it seems that I have to run

./install.sh

as well.

if instead I say:

make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6.-xenU"

as suggested in the readme and in the users manual, I will get:

vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 and vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xenU ( note the different versions )

also , the xen download site talks about 2.6.18.-8 and not ( yet ) about 2.6.26.1

in a recent mail , the following procedure was suggested:
Hi:
Please refer to http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt.

steps:
1. download the xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
2. tar -zxf xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
3. Download kernel code by 
"http://www.xen.org/download/docs/xen33.linux-2.6.18.README.txt";
4. cd to folder xen-3.3.1
5. make prep-kernels.
6. run other make commands you want.( you can get help by "make help")


enjoy your time :)

My questions are:
on a fresh debian lenny system:
1) what is the recommend installation command sequence ?
2) what is the recommend kernel version for dom0 and domU ?

Thanks very much for your help
