I read here http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps
this :

Using Xen/paravirt_ops

Building with domU support

  1. Get a current kernel. The latest kernel.org kernel is generally a good choice.
  2. Configure as normal; you can start with your current .config file
  3. If building 32 bit kernel make sure you have CONFIG_X86_PAE enabled (which is set by selecting CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G)
    • non-PAE mode doesn't work in 2.6.25, and has been dropped altogether from 2.6.26 and newer kernel versions.
  4. Enable these core options:
    1. CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST
    2. CONFIG_XEN
  5. And Xen pv device support
    1. CONFIG_HVC_DRIVER and CONFIG_HVC_XEN
    2. CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND
    3. CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND
  6. And build as usual
My question is :

I have original kernel of FC12 that has all the configuration options as shown above ?  Does this kernel can act as a
pvops kernel  ?

If I choose to build my own pvops kernel , how do I do it ?


Regards,
Onkar
