kernel module in Xen?

kernel module in Xen?

[aq]

Hello,

I just installed Xen 2.0.1 and playing with it on my Ubuntu. It works
great, but why there is no modules in domain0 when I run "lsmod"?
Meanwhile, the "normal" kernel shows me a lot of modules?

I guess that is because xen0 compiled everything I need into the
kernel (Am I very lucky?). For example, xen0 already includes "Tulip"
NIC driver (which my machine is using), so my machine works instantly
after booting into Xen!!

(on my machine, domain0 is using 2.6.9-xen0 kernel)

Anybody can please explain these problem to me?
Thank you a lot,
AQ

Yes, we compile most stuff right into teh default kernel. If you want
a more minimal kernel, or to compile more stuff as modules, you will
need to download the source tarball or BK repository and
configure/build/install it yourself.

Here is a weirder problem that yours!

I can't load madwifi on xen 2.6.9. 

Why? Well, it claims that some symbols are not exported that it needs. 
BUT, they are. They're even in system.map as 'T', so I know they got 
compiled in. There is an EXPORT_SYMBOL for them. I just can't insmod a .ko 
that uses that symbol. 

Any ideas :-)
