I really find it convenient to have a symbolic link to the latest xen kernel I've built/installed fortesting purposes. When the kernel went from 2.6.9 -> 2.6.10 recently, I hit all kind of strange problems until I realized that I was booting thenew xen stuff with an old kernel. This might also come in handy if someone were inclined to makeinstall.sh smarter so that it modifies grub. The patch was made againstxen-2.0-testing but should apply ok to all the trees. -- Thanks, Paul Larson plars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtestproject.orgdiff -Nru a/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen0 b/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen0--- a/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen0 2005-01-20 15:48:20 -06:00 +++ b/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen0 2005-01-20 15:48:20 -06:00 @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) ARCH=xen INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(INSTALL_DIR) modules_install ; \fi $(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) ARCH=xen INSTALL_PATH=$(INSTALL_DIR) install + ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-$(FULLVERSION) \ + $(INSTALL_DIR)/boot/vmlinuz-$(EXTRAVERSION) $(LINUX_DIR)/include/linux/autoconf.h: pristine-linux-$(LINUX_VER) rm -rf $(LINUX_DIR)diff -Nru a/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xenU b/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xenU--- a/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xenU 2005-01-20 15:48:20 -06:00 +++ b/buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xenU 2005-01-20 15:48:20 -06:00 @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) ARCH=xen INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(INSTALL_DIR) modules_install ; \fi $(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) ARCH=xen INSTALL_PATH=$(INSTALL_DIR) install + ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-$(FULLVERSION) \ + $(INSTALL_DIR)/boot/vmlinuz-$(EXTRAVERSION) $(LINUX_DIR)/include/linux/autoconf.h: pristine-linux-$(LINUX_VER) rm -rf $(LINUX_DIR) I think this won't work if /boot is mounted in a separate partition. AFAIK, GRUB isn't able to follow symlinks across different filesystems. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
