Hi Guys,

Im new to this so i'll try my best........

Im having a problem compiling the domU kernel for the xen virtual boxes, the specific error is

root@ws02:~/xen/linux-2.6.11.12-xenU# make install
CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h

Do you use Debian Sarge?
This thread ( http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-09/msg00766.html ) seems to suggest that this kind of error happens if you use Debian testing or unstable.

Im using Kubuntu 6.06.

Sorry for the late reply.

All Ubuntu versions identify themselves as Debian testing/unstable. You should consider using Debian Sarge instead.

Ok,

Thankyou Falco.
