Re: [Xen-users] Building XEN with different config PROBLEM

[Philip Steeman <philip.steeman@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I think the following also works:

tar xzf xen-3.1.0.tar.tgz
cd xen-3.1.0-src
cd build-linux-2.6.18-xen0_x86_32
make menuconfig
cd ..
make linux-2.6-xen0-build
---> vmlinuz
cd build-linux.2.6.18-xenU_x86_32
make menuconfig
cd ..
make linux-2.6-xenU-build
---> vmlinuz
