Compile dom0 (Linux kernel 3.2.1) + Xen-4.1.2 + virt-manager 0.9.0 on opensuse 12.1

Experience summary:

1. Do not use an independent video card because the driver does not support the pv_ops kernel architecture.

2. Do not use a 64-bit release (except for Ubuntu)

Steps:

1. Install 32bit opensuse 12.1

Install Linux kernel development and Python dependency package

......

2. Prepare

Zypper install dev86

Zypper install ncurses-devel bridge-utils

3. Compile Xen-4.1.2

Download the latest xen-4.1.2 from www.xen.org

sudo tar -xzvf xen-4.1.2.tar.gz

cd xen-4.1.2

sudo make xensudo make toolssudo make stubdom
Then
sudo make install-xensudo make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=sudo make install-stubdom
Check/boot/and find
/boot/xen-4.0.gz/boot/xen-4.gz/boot/xen.gz
Now you can proceed with the following steps with confidence.
4. Compile dom0 Kernel
Download the latest kernel
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux
cd linux
Change Branch
git checkout -b upstream/xen origin/upstream/xen
Copy the configuration file opensuse12.1 under/boot/(starting with config) to Linux/and name it. config
Make menuconfig
--> Processor type and features --> paravirtualized guest support: xen guest support: Enable xen privileged domain support Optional: enable other features
--> Device Driver
Select All xen-related items, just in case.
Sudo make
If a module needs to be manually selected, we recommend that you select y instead of M.
Then there is a long wait, usually about an hour.
If no problem exists
Make modules_install install
So far, the kernel has been compiled
5. Configure grub
Opensuse uses grub1. What we need to modify is the/boot/GRUB/menu. LST file.
Before that, open the/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and
(xend-unix-server no)
And then change "no" to "yes ".
Get
(xend-unix-server yes)
Modify the menu. LST file
Title xen 4.1.2root (hd0, 5) My opensuse12.1 is installed in sda6 partition so it is (hd0, 5) kernel/boot/xen-4.1.2.gzmodule/boot/vmlinuz-3.1.2rc root =/dev/sda6 (the vmlinuz-3.1.2rc obtained after compiling the dom0 kernel can be found in/boot/) module/boot/initrd. img-3.1.2rc (can be found in/boot/, also obtained after compiling the dom0 kernel)
6. Compile
Virt-manager 0.9.0
Download the latest virt-manager.org from virt-manager0.9.0
Preparation:

  
  

   
   
Python & gt; = 2.4-virt-manager is written in python!
   
   
Pygtk2> = 1.99.12-6-the python gtk2 bindings are used for the UI
   
   
Gnome-python2-gconf> = 1.99.11-7-gconf stores application preferences
   
   
Libvirt-Python> = 0.4.0-libvirt is for talking to xen, qemu, KVM and other virtualization backensd
   
   
Export-Python> = 0.61-optionally expose a service on the bus for control of the UI
   
   
Gnome-Python-desktop> = 2.15.4-optionally store VNC Server passwords in GNOME Keyring
   
   
Libxml2-python> = 2.6.23-used to parse XML from libvirt
   
   
VTE> = 0.12.2-for displaying/interacting with the serial console
   
   
Export inst> = 0.300.3-Python library for creating ing in creating VMS
   
   
GTK-VNC-Python> = 0.3.4-GTK widget for displaying VNC sessions
  
  
YaST comes in handy. install these Dependencies
Decompress the installation package, tar-zxvf
Then make
Make install
Success !!!
