compilation problem

[antoni artigues]

Hello

I have RHEL4 with kernel 2.6.9

I'm trying to compile kvm-kmod-2.6.30

After make command returns:

---------------------
[root@maeko kvm-kmod-2.6.30]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.ELsmp/build M=`pwd` \
	LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -Iinclude \
	 \
	-Iarch/x86/include -I`pwd`/include-compat \
	-include include/linux/autoconf.h \
	-include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h " \
	"$@"
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-67.EL-smp-x86_64'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-67.EL-smp-x86_64'
---------------------

It seems all has gone well. But the kvm.ko is not created.

The make install returns:
----------------
[root@maeko kvm-kmod-2.6.30]# make install
mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.6.9-67.ELsmp/extra
cp x86/*.ko //lib/modules/2.6.9-67.ELsmp/extra
cp: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre «x86/*.ko»: No existe el fichero o
el directorio
make: *** [install] Error 1
----------------

I tried with kvm-kmod-2.6.31.5 but it returns the same error.

With the kvm-kmod-2.6.31.6 the configure command says:"Error: kernel is
too old for this kvm-kmod release."

Thanks in advance.

2.6.9 is way too old for kvm-kmod.  Any particular reason why you want 
kvm over such an old host?

Hello

Well, we have a 32 nodes cluster. With RHEL4 and 2.6.9 kernel in all the
nodes. The cluster is in production. Now, is not possible to update each
of the 32 nodes.

We want to use opennebula with KVM in the cluster. So, we are trying to
compile the kvm-kmod.

Is not possible? Do we need to update the kernel of each node?

Thanks

A new kernel is needed.  Note the RHEL 6 kernel includes kvm, so you 
don't need to compile anything.  Of course, if the cluster is in 
production, you'll need to plan this carefully.
