Hi, i am trying to build a custom xen kernel from CentOS source kernel rpm . What i want to achieve is to have custom domU kernel without modules, which will boot domU machine without having /lib/modules . My first try is to simple disable Loadable module support , so i have followed tutorial on CentOS wiki for kernel building http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel .
Now it is building, my question is will it work? - again all i have done is to disabled loadable module support. Can someone please point me to sucessfull end?
Thanks in advance!

Why would you want to do that? Besides that it is not supported, you don't get the comfort of automatic kernel security updates.

Hello, thanks for your reply!
i want to have virtual Linux Machines which will be undependend on domU kernel , it means , they will not need to have /lib/modules inside, thats all
is there any other way to achieve it? thanks in advance!

Personally, I just use PyGrub for everything. with PyGrub and a distro that ships Xen kernels, it's pretty easy to keep your DomUs up to date.
the ability to run different kernels in different DomUs, I think, is one of the prime differentiators of Xen.
