Booting Xen on Redhat 4.0

Booting Xen on Redhat 4.0

[Kevin Fox]

Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I am unable to
bring up Xen on Redhat 4.0 because of a missing initrd module.
I've tried creating a new initrd (with mkinitrd) but it complains about
missing mpt modules which do not appear to be built in the src tree (2.0.4).

Is there something simple I'm missing here?

TIA
Kev

Ah, your problem is a common one. Basically you need to rebuild the
kernel and add support for your scsi card. To do this do the following:
	- go into linux-?-xen0 dir
	- type "make menuconfig ARCH=xen"
	- under Device Driver --> Fusion MPT device support .. you will need to
compile these as module
	- type "make ARCH=xen"
	- type "make ARCH=xen modules_install"
	- type "make ARCH=xen install"
	- create your new initrd and your set
