Are you following:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian
Or are you trying something else?
[matthias] Yes, I was following the instruction on
that page, more specifically I downloaded the
_latest_ bins
and attempted to install them into a Debian rootfs.
All the other pkgs from latest installed just fine,
except for
xapi.
On that note, I think the dependency on blktap-dkms
is also obsolete. I was able to install the xapi
pkg via this line:
# dpkg --ignore-depends=blktap-utils,blktap-dkms -i
xapi_0.1+1315480729-1_i386.deb
One more thing, there seems to be a dependency on a
modules.dep from a particular kernel:
Setting up xapi (0.1+1315480729-1) ...
FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/modules.dep: No such
file or directory
xapi still installs, though. In my case, I do not
even have kernel modules, but rather I have compiled
everything into vmlinuz.
Cheers,
Matthias
Thanks,
Todd
