Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.015
Severity: normal
I am trying to compile a custom Xen enabled kernel using the Debian
kernel sources (linux-source-2.6.26) and the Debian patches
(linux-patch-debian-2.6.26). The patches are applied using the command
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.26/apply/debian -a i386 -f xen. After
that the kernel is configured for Xen (i.e. CONFIG_X86_XEN=y). Trying to
build the kernel_image target with make-kpkg does not work, apparently
make-kpkg tries to use the bzImage target for the kernel which does not
work for Xen.
I modified the i386.mk makefile a bit:

int_install_vmlinux:=YES
(This is probably not the most elegant solution, I did not look into any other
files, so maybe this is horribly wrong and breaks something else. Also, I set
the kimagedest variable to the same as kelfimagedest, without I ended up with
two kernel images in the package. However, setting the target to vmlinux is
required.)
With these changes xenu and xen0 kernel packages are built successfully, as
well as unpatched kernels (even unpatched kernels with Xen domU support). Note,
however, that I have not been able to actually run the kernels, the packages do
look ok though. Also, I did not check if it works with other kernel sources
(e.g. upstream ones).
