Re: [Xen-users] Custom kernel XEN

[Christian Motschke <christian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Debian patches are in the package linux-patch-debian-2.6.32. Other Kernel patches are also available via package management (aptitude). To compile the kernel the way I suggested, you need also kernel-patch-scripts and dh-kpatches, kernel-package and of cause gcc. But then, I think you can follow my steps to compile a kernel with your own patches. I did this for example, for a kernel with SCST patches.

Install the kernel sources and debian patches with apt-get or aptitude and apply the debian patches and the XEN feature patch. And all the patches you need.

Commands to configure and compile the kernel:

cd /usr/src

tar xvjf linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2

cd linux-source-2.6.32

../kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/apply/debian -f xen -a x86_64

patch -p1 < /root/your-special.patch

cp /boot/config-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 .config

make-kpkg --config menuconfig

make-kpkg --revision 1.0 --append_to_version -my-own-xen-amd64 --bzImage --arch-in-name --initrd kernel_image -j 4

After compilation is complete, install the .deb with dpkg -i.

Thank all the kind users  for help but hmm its could be difficult to engage the whole operation. It's there a way to patch a kernel in deb package? The best thing its to get current version form my distribution and customize it, but how the Christian sa'ys apply the "debian patches" but i don't see them in repository. On official Xen site i saw the third way to customize kernel by editing the .config file and add some extra options.
