[DEBIAN] Compile your own DomU kernel

[Whitenoise]

Build Vanilla kernel

Now we will build th PV_Ops Kernel. The Vanilla kernel source will be downloaded from Jeremy's tree. Jeremy's git tree on kernel.org contains the pv_ops dom0 patches. If we use Jeremy's tree then we do not any extra patches to bind XEN with kernel source.

• cd /usr/src/
• git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
• cd xen
• make menuconfig [see Note below]
• make-kpkg clean
• fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
• This will make the debian packages in the parent directory which you can install

Before making the config, copy the attached file in /usr/src/xen and run "make oldconfig"

Install these debian packages using
sudo dpkg -i <name>

Edit Grub

Now edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as follows:
default=0
timeout=5
title debian
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-<filename> ro root=/dev/xvda2 console=xvc0
        initrd /boot/initrd.img-<filename>

Look for the proper <filename> in /boot/

Finally, reboot! If anything goes wrong just boot in rescue mode and amend properly.
