Below are the steps I followed to compile. I see various commands being suggested in various sites and READMEs. I did not understand which is the correct way to do it. I am using openSuse 11.0. 1. I downloaded the source tarball from http://www.xen.org/download/ 2. Extracted the contents into /usr/src and executed the following commands as root 3. make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig 4. I selected necessary configurations in menuconfig and saved the settings 5. make linux-2.6-xen0-build 6. make linux-2.6-xen0-install 7. mkinitrd -v -i /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen0 -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 This is because, mkinitrd with the other flags such as ' --with= ' dont seem to be working on my distro. I am not sure if there is a different syntax or the way options are specified is different. However since the kernel image is generated using the previous commands, I created the initrd image for the kernel image by specifying the name of the kernel image using -k. 8. make install KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0" -- This installs the necessary tools I believe. This did not go to successful completion. It was running on an infinite loop displaying the same set of contents again and again. But since they are just tools, I aborted and edited the /boot/grub/menu.lst to add an entry for the compiled xen. When I reboot into the compiled kernel, the system halts when the splash screen is getting loaded. Hence i edited the file /etc/inittab and changed the runlevel from 5 to 3. After a series of boot messages, the system allowed me to login. Can you please guide me if there is any mistake in the steps followed. I am not sure why the system does not login with runlevel 5. But if i use a precompiled xen installed using the openSuse 11.0 DVD, it works perfectly fine. But i am trying to make small modifications to the xen scheduler, for which I would like to learn to compile it myself. Thank you very much in advance.

I am facing problems while compiling Xen from source. Below are t= he steps I followed to compile. I see various commands being suggested in v= arious sites and READMEs. I did not understand which is the correct way to = do it. I am using openSuse 11.0.

1. I downloaded the source tarball from http://www.xen.org/download/

2. Extracted the contents= into /usr/src and executed the following commands as root

3. make l= inux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=3Dmenuconfig

4. I selected necessary configurations in menuconfig and saved the sett= ings

5. make linux-2.6-xen0-build

6. make linux-2.6-xen0-inst= all

7. mkinitrd -v -i /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen0 -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.= 18.8-xen0
=A0=A0=A0 This is because, mkinitrd with the other flags such as ' --wi= th=3D ' dont seem to be working on my distro. I am not sure if there is= a different syntax or the way options are specified is different. However = since the kernel image is generated using the previous commands, I created = the initrd image for the kernel image by specifying the name of the kernel = image using -k.

8. make install KERNELS=3D"linux-2.6-xen0" -- This installs t= he necessary tools I believe. This did not go to successful completion. It = was running on an infinite loop displaying the same set of contents again a= nd again. But since they are just tools, I aborted and edited the /boot/gru= b/menu.lst to add an entry for the compiled xen.

When I reboot into the compiled kernel, the system halts when the splas= h screen is getting loaded. Hence i edited the file /etc/inittab and change= d the runlevel from 5 to 3.

After a series of boot messages, the sy= stem allowed me to login.

Can you please guide me if there is any mistake in the steps followed. = I am not sure why the system does not login with runlevel 5. But if i use a= precompiled xen installed using the openSuse 11.0 DVD, it works perfectly = fine.

Thank you very much in advance.
