To build: 1. ./mkbuildtree [] NB. You can override paths to Xen sources and a (stub) XenLinux build tree via the XEN and XL environment variable. 2. make -C /path/to/kernel/build M=$PWD modules NB. This is your native kernel build tree (or a distro provided stub), not the XenLinux sources referred to in step 1. NB. If you are cross compiling, you need to set ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE too. You get four modules, xen-platform-pci.ko, xen-vbd.ko, xen-vnif.ko and xen-balloon.ko. Load xen-platform-pci first, and then whichever of xen-vbd, xen-vnif and xen-balloon.ko you happen to need.
