Creating a custom kernel for xen
Posted 2005/09/10
Only use 'make world' the first time you build anything as it will overwrite your .config files with xen defaults.
mjeg@bun:~/xen-2.0$ cd linux-2.6.11-xen0/
mjeg@bun:~/xen-2.0/linux-2.6.11-xen0$ make ARCH=xen menuconfig
mjeg@bun:~/xen-2.0/linux-2.6.11-xen0$ cd ..
mjeg@bun:~/xen-2.0$ make dist
Doing 'make dist' will copy your new .config file to 'dist/install/boot/' and then build your custom kernel for you.
