including nic driver to xen0

including nic driver to xen0

[Thomas E. Conway-Poulsen]

Hi guys,

I have just got xen unstable up and running, great stuff! It is 
functioning and booting up the VMs just fine. My problem is that I need 
to include 8139too nic driver to the xen0 kernel, how should I proceed 
with this?

Thanks alot!

Thomas  E. Conway-Poulsen.

Long way:

cd linux-2.4.26-xen0
make ARCH=xen xconfig # enable the driver
make ARCH=xen dep     # rebuild dependencies
make ARCH=xen dist    # this builds and installs to ../install/boot/
make ARCH=xen install # install to /boot/


Quick way:

Edit linux-2.4.26-xen0/.config to enable the driver.
make linux-xen0
make install


I've just noticed that 8139too is already built into our 2.6.7
kernels so you may just want to switch over.
