We are currently using VMWare stuff and seriously plan to replace it by Xen. As a start, currently our product is based on a 2.4.27 linux kernel with several patches for ACLs and various other things. I retrieved "xen-2.0.1-install.tar.gz" and "xen-2.0.1-src.tar.gz" and generated the "linux-2.4.27-xen.patch" by using the "make mkpatches" command under the base of the src directory of Xen. I applied this patch to our already patched linux kernel without any problem. Then, i used the domain0 default config under the linux source tree via "cp arch/xen/defconfig-xen0 .config". Then according to the documentation i tried to compile the kernel : % make ARCH=xen oldconfig % make ARCH=xen dep % make ARCH=xen bzImage And here is what i got : gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DKBUILD_BASENAME=main -c -o init/main.o init/main.c In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/asm/processor.h:188, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/prefetch.h:13, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/list.h:6, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/wait.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/fs.h:12, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/asm/hypervisor.h: In function `HYPERVISOR_dom_mem_op': /usr/src/linux-2.4.27/include/asm/hypervisor.h:494: more than 10 operands in `asm' make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 Sorry if it is a trivial/common question, i searched the mailing list but found nothing about such a problem. Any help is apreciated. Thanks a lot and long life to Xen. Hugo Delchini.
