Hi,

I have a .config file of a previous install. (Gentoo 2.6.18-hardened)
What is the most efficient and safe way to use these settings for the xen-sources 2.6.16.28-r1?

When I copy the .config file from my other server to the /usr/src/linux directory and do "make menuconfig" the XEN kernel options are not there anymore,....

Basically, what I'm trying is to get rid of all the modules that are selected in the standard .config that comes with xen-sources.

cheers,

Try this
Code:
make ARCH=xen oldconfig

Worked for me.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Kernel question, so moved here.

HI Crapo,

Thanks for the answer but that's not a solution to my question.

Basically I want to have my .config from another server copied over to my xen server and still have the XEN options available in my "make menuconfig"

Code:
make ARCH=xen oldconfig


will build the xen kernel so at this point i'm allready passed the make menuconfig menu.
