Hi,
I am a newbie here, and I have installed fedora core 5, xen, xen0, xenU on my thinkpad laptop, follows the quick start guide, I can bring up guest xenU, everything works fine, including networking.
now I want to learn more about xen, and want to build everything from scartch, there are some rpm comes with fedora 5, like some kernel-xen-devel package, but it only include the headers file, no C codes at all,
so I googled though every where, but I could ot find the source RPM for
that,
the only xen source I can find is xen-3.o.???.src.rpm, which builds kernel ends with "xen", not "xen0",
so I am wondering where do I find the source or building xen0 ? or, I should just use the "xen-3.o.???.src.rpm" ?
In Fedora land, all kernels, baremetal, Dom0 and DomU are built from a single master source RPM. The latest errata for FC5 is
http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPM... rnel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5.src.rpm
The 'xen' SRPM that you see is just used to build & package the corresponding userspace bits.
Bear in mind that if you're modifying stuff make absolutely sure you use matched versions of the kernel & userland bits. For FC5 the latest userland SRPM for Xen is
http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPM... n-3.0.2-3.FC5.src.rpm
