[qiu]

In the xen for sage howto there is a part three
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_xen3_debian_p3

since I may need ip tables and quote is there a simple way to recompile the kernal i have 2.6 sarge installed. The way to do it in how to is ok but I am finding it difficult to follow.

What exactly do you find difficult to follow? You only need to copy & paste from the tutorial.

[qiu]

well this for example But it may be quite simple once i know how:


In the kernel comfiguration menu that shows up we enable quota, iptables and the dummy network driver as modules. This is where you enable these modules:

File systems --> Quota support
<M> Old quota format support
<M> Quota format v2 support

Device Drivers ---> Networking support ---> <M> Dummy net driver support

Device Drivers ---> Networking support ---> Networking options ---> Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration ---> <M> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)

means: build into the kernel statically.
<M> means: build as a kernel module.

When you run make menuconfig, a kernel configuration menu shows up.

Device Drivers ---> Networking support ---> <M> Dummy net driver support for example means: go to Device Drivers, then to Networking Support, and then enable Dummy net driver support as a module (M).

It semed to go ok I followed your suggestions.

just one small snag at the end

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
and
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20

update-rc.d: etc/init.d/xen file does not exist
same for xendomains files does not exist.

i create by touch command xend and xendomains just need to know script to put in file then place in /etc/init.d

[falko]

Then you did something wrong. What's the output of ls -la /etc/init.d?
Please try to follow the tutorial as close as possible and avoid typos, etc.

.in kernel config Y for *
and M for module

the only change i made when I installed sarge 3.1r1 was i had to disable
USB legacy in BIOS so i could use labtop keypad in sarge. you see i have kernel 2.6 on hda1 ubuntu Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-686and sarge hda2 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 thing is I cannot reboot. but can shutdown. Since this may or may not effect xen i have posted my kernel print-out at http://pastebin.ca/49447
