[Xen-users] install problem on Linux SUSE SP1 box with Xen-2.0 ... missing modules

[suze brown <smith.suze@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I'm a Xen newbie excited to experiment with virtualization.

 

I'm facing a problem with my install though.. and would appreciate all the help i can get.

Downloaded the tar ball xen-2.0.7-install-x86_32.tgz from

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads.html

and am using an ia32 box running SUSE SLES9.

 

To install Xen, followed the procedure outlined in the user manual

and went on to make its initrd image using mkinitrd.

 

Now get the following..

#  mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0 -i initrd-2.6.11.12-xen0
Root device:    /dev/sda1 (mounted on / as ext3)
Module list:    aic7xxx lpfcdd jbd ext3

Kernel image:   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0
Initrd image:   /boot/initrd-2.6.11.12-xen0
Shared libs:    lib/ld-2.3.3.so lib/libc.so.6 lib/libselinux.so.1
Cannot determine dependencies of module aic7xxx. Is modules.dep up to date?
Cannot determine dependencies of module lpfcdd. Is modules.dep up to date?
Cannot determine dependencies of module jbd. Is modules.dep up to date?
Cannot determine dependencies of module ext3. Is modules.dep up to date?
Modules:
none

Had run "depmod -a -v 2.6.11.12-xen0" to create the modules.dep file.

Noticed that the modules listed i.e aic7xxx, lpfcdd, jbd and ext3 dont really exist in the directory /lib/modules/2.6.11.12-xen0 .. :(

Was wondering why they werent a part of the downloadable binary package ?

How does mkinitrd generate this list ?

does someone have the files to share ?

The directory structure installed by Xen is as follows.. :-

ambrosia:/lib/modules/2.6.11.12-xen0/kernel # ls -lR
