Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem

Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem

[Bill Morris]

Folks,

  Mercurial is selectable as an installation in
OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST.

  I have:

hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

make dist
sh ./install.sh

  It appears to have installed properly, but it has not created 
the required module /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is probably the wrong list for such a question - future usage 
questions should be directed to xen-user

Take a look at the README file. It will describe how to generate an 
initrd in section 5:

5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:

    # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
    # make linux-2.6-xen-build
    # make linux-2.6-xen-install

   Depending on your config, you may need to use 'mkinitrd' to create
   an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
    # depmod 2.6.18-xen
    # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod 
initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen

   Other systems may requires the use of 'mkinitramfs' to create the
   ram disk.
    # depmod 2.6.18-xen
    # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
