compile fails: Xen on amd64 architecture

[Morton Jonuschat]

Compiling linux-source-2.6.22 dated 2007-08-20 from git repository fails at different stages of the compile process.

- Syntax error in pgtable.h added by Xen 3.1.0 patch (missing backslash)
- Syntax error in Xen 3.1.0 patch for arch/x86_64/kernel/entry.S
- Syntax errors in Xen 3.1.0 patch for arch/x86_64/kernel/irq.c
- Missing functions in apic-xen.c

Additionally the following information is missing from the control file:
architecture amd64 in control file for linux-image-2.6.22-10-xen
architecture amd64 in control file for linux-headers-2.6.22-10-xen

Regards,
Morton

Kernel has been successfully compiled with this patch applied and ran in the following configuration:

 - 64bit amd64Dom0
 - a 32bit i386 DomU
 - a 64bit amd64 DomU

I have a fix locally, will be pushed soon

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

This is fixed already.

[Andreas John (derjohn)]

hm,
why can't I find a compiled kernel "linux-image-2.6.22-.*-xen" in the repository with $ARCH amd64?
Is that upload still pending?

Best regards,
Andreas

Current GIT Version still fails compile - this time in mmc_sdhci module. I didn't bother to fix this, waiting for the "official" fix.. Normal generic/server builds work fine.

Posted the same error to bug 132726

I guess the upload is still pending? I just pulled and built the latest in git and it seems to up and running for me now.

[Bart Verwilst (verwilst)]

AFAIK next week there will be a new build with a working amd64 xen kernel!

[Bart Verwilst (verwilst)]

It arrived!

ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux-source-2.6.22

See, a nice and shiny amd64 deb! ;)

Thanks a lot for all the hard work @ devs, now let's test this puppy!

[Christian Schürer-Waldheim (quincunx)]

The xen-kernel is there, but I'm missing linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-11-xen for amd64. The driver for my network card is in this package, without it I won't have any network :-(

Hope linux-ubuntu-modules for xen on amd64 will come soon too.

[Morton Jonuschat (ubuntu-debian-planet)]

Since 11.33 release the kernel is working and compiling with Xen patches, so this bug can be considered fixed.
