[Xen-users] compiling xen kernels for Debian

[Steve Wray <steve.wray@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
I'm trying to build a Xen domU kernel for Debian from the Debian source 
packages for 2.6.18
This is coming out of the source package linux-2.6_2.6.18.dfsg.1-12

I've taken the config file from /boot/config-2.6.18-4-xen-686 on the 
dom0 and have run:
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --subarch xen --config menuconfig binary

when I load the config file I get several errors starting with:
config-2.6.18-4-xen-686:100:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol 
X86_XEN
config-2.6.18-4-xen-686:158:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol 
SWIOTLB
config-2.6.18-4-xen-686:272:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol 
PCI_GOXEN_FE
config-2.6.18-4-xen-686:276:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol 
XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND
config-2.6.18-4-xen-686:277:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol 
XEN_PCIDEV_FE_DEBUG
and the resulting menuconfig does not offer a xen subarchitecture.

There doesn't appear to be a Debian package for a xen patch any more; as 
I understand it xen has been absorbed as a subarchitecture now so an 
extra patch shouldn't be needed.
Since there is a Debian package for linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686 it must 
have been built from some source package. I'm just wondering how I get 
to build it myself according to my own config.
Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!
