We can success booting domU with linux-2.6.tip-xen.
(This is FedoraCore work.)
The build step is the below.
I think the step is almost same as Aron's step.
(
http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/fedora-kernel-ia64/.)
We used linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg(cset #30476) and
xen-unstable.hg(cset #10474).
1. hg clone
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg
2. copy xen/include/asm-ia64/asm-xsi-offsets.h
from xen-ia64-unstable.hg
to linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg/include/asm-ia64/xen/
3. copy .config
from xen-ia64-unstable.hg/buildconfigs/linux-defconfig_xen_ia64
to linux-2.6.tip-xen/.config
4. make oldconfig
(All answers are default)
5. copy linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg/arch/ia64/kernel/gate.S
Hmm, I figured this might be an issue.
from linux-2.6.16.13.tar.bz2
6. cd linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg
make & copy vmlinuz & mkinitrd
7. build xen-unstable.hg (cset #10474)
hg clone xen-unstable.hg xen-unstable.hg-match-linux-2.6.tip
cd xen-unstable.hg-match-linux.2.6.tip
hg up -C 10474
make
8. copy xen.gz to under /boot/efi/
9. make install-tools
But I found some problem. Please comments.
A. We cannot compile the latest linux-2.6.tip-xen(#32966).
Is fixing linux-2.6.tip-xen fc6's or xen-ia64's contribution?
Or is anyone already working for that?
I have not tried compiling it on ia64. Could you show us the compile
errors? Or if you know the problem, send a patch?
B. linux-2.6.tip-xen don't have arch/ia64/kernel/gate.S. Why?
This is likely a merge error. The merge thought the file was dropped
from upstream Linux. Feel free to send the proper patch.
thanks,
