Johansson" Cc: Derek Glidden , xen-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org I've had great success getting Xen running on multiple Gentoo installations using the 2.0.1 source tarball. First, make sure to satisfy all the dependences (twisted 1.3.0 is masked, but required). Then just follow the build and install instructions provided by Xen. The only thing you have to do differently is before installing, do a make menuconfig in each of the kernel source directories and enable devfs. You can also just modify the .config's by hand. Do a make and the follow the installation instructions. Regards, Anthony Liguori Eric S.
