Problem when trying to compile ubuntu-kernel from source (via apt-

[Thomas Stather]

Hello everybody

I have a strange problem when i tried to compile my own XEN Dom0/DomU 
Kernel from source (i used the apt-src kernel sources).
I followed this manual:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile


I created a new flavour called "xen" (see 
http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/11/03/how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-karmic/) 
and patched the kernel-source with the xen-patches (2.6.31-11).After 
that, i ran:


debian/rules updateconfigs

and i enabled the new XEN config-attributes only for my flavour


For compilation, i ran

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=2 AUTOBUILD=1 skipmodule=1 skipabi=1 
debian/rules binary-debs

And here is the first of my 2 problems. When i omitted the skipmodule 
flag, i got some warnings about missing modules, what exactly does this 
mean (are the modules in the kernel config but not in the kernel source 
anymore????)?

Then i set the flag, and the compilation went through fine (about 20 
minutes) but i got the following error:

WW: Explicitly asked to ignore failures (probably not good)
II: New modules (you've been busy, wipe the poop off your nose)
II: Done
dh_testdir

dh_clean -k -plinux-image-2.6.31-19-xen
dh_clean -k -plinux-headers-2.6.31-19-xen

/root/linux-2.6.31/debian/linux-image-2.6.31-19-xen/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-xen          

install: cannot stat 
`/root/linux-2.6.31/debian/build/build-xen/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage': No 
such file or directory
make: *** [install-xen] Error 1

I have some knowledge about debian/ubuntu package building, but as i 
discovered, the kernel rules-file is a bit complicated and i don't know 
where the error could be. What i know is that

/root/linux-2.6.31/debian/linux-image-2.6.31-19-xen/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-xen      


doesn't exist


Can you please help me, because i really need this Xen Dom0/U Kernel for 
Ubuntu Karmic (x86_64).
