Xen 3.0 on Debian 3.1 (Sarge)

[kbrown20]

Hello,


On your install guide "The Perfect Xen 3.0 Setup for Debian" page three you say to run these commands:


I downloaded xen-3.0.1-src.tgz, (SUBSTITUTED WITH 3.0.2) then: done…


cd /usr/src done…
tar -xvzf xen-3.0.1-src.tgz (SUBSTITUTED WITH 3.0.2) done…


cd xen-3.0.1/ SUBSTITUTED WITH 3.0.2, 3.0.1 does not exist) done…
make world done…

cd linux-2.6.12-xen0 (SUBSTITUTED WITH 2.6.16-xen, xen0 does not exist) done…

ARCH=xen done… J
export ARCH done… J
make oldconfig Failed L
make menuconfig Failed L

When I ran the make oldconfig and menuconfig I recieved this:

server2:/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2# make oldconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.
server2:/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.
server2:/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2#

Did this fail due to the version conflict between the one that I am using and the one in your guide? What do I do next? Thanks.

Do you see any errors when you run make world?

[zonerr]

make oldconfig Failed L
make menuconfig Failed L
This is where things failed. I would rerun the install and try it again. without the unpacking because you've already done that.

Falko,

I did not recall seeing any errors at the end of the make world execution command but i will do it again and see. Shouldn't I see if there are any errors at the end of the compilation? If not where? Thanks.

Yes, there should be errors at the end.

[kbrown20]

Falko,

Here is the last page of the 'make world' command. I actually did a 'make -d world' to get extra debugging info and there were no errors (I actually got a "Successfully remade target file `world'."). I then ran the 'make oldconfig' and recieved the 'stop' error there. It looks like in the '/usr/src/xen-3.0.2-2/linux-2.6.16-xen/arch/xen/Makefile' there isn't a 'xen' directory and that is why the stop message comes up. Please advise. Thanks.

It must be somehow related to Xen 3.0.2. Have you tried with 3.0.1?

[kbrown20]

Falko,

I will try 3.0.1. Should I uninstall 3.0.2? If so can I just delete the folders? Thanks.

Kashif

[falko]

To be on the safe side, I'd install it on a fresh Debian.

Hello!

I also got the same problem with version 3.0.2

I installed 3.0.1 on an exact same machine a week ago without any problems, except those you mension falko.

Now my big problem;) It seems like I can't find version 3.0.1 (tarball) and I can´t figure out the 3.0.2 issue.

Any suggestions?

[falko]

You have the Xen 3.0.2 downloads here: http://www.xensource.com/xen/downloads/dl_x30tarball_bt.html

If you replace 3.0.2 with 3.0.1 in the download links you can download Xen 3.0.1.

[blicod]

haha... ridiculous easy.

Anyway. Thanks for outstanding Howtos
