I installed community/xen whithout any problem.
But when i reboot, using the generated kernel, it complains about missing several modules (Modules Fatal blablah). Including my network card !
How can i solve that ?

Thanks

Re: Xen modules missing

Xen currently uses kernel 2.6.18. If you have modestly recent hardware, this can be problematic. Can you tell which modules are failing?

Re: Xen modules missing

me too, guys.

I've checked, it's all the modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
pata_acpi, ata_generic and ahci not found.
Also after boot with the xen kernel, touch command always got function error, and eth0 device is not there.

But after pacman -Syu, I've got a /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew, which doesn't load any modules, so I've rename my mkinitcpio.conf and using pacnew version.
Then install xen, still got an error for xen0 and xenU fallback img, saying BusLogic not found.
But let me reboot to xen kernel, let me see how is it...

Re: Xen modules missing

ok, now after reboot, the kernel can boot anyway, but then it report a lot of module is not found:
e1000e, snd*... basically just all the modules in rc.conf

So you can image the eth0 is not there.

Re: Xen modules missing

I've got the same issue.  A friend of mine suggested that I recompile the modules against the xen kernel, which seems to make sense, but i dont see where the headers/source for the xen kernel is (and im not sure of the exact procedure anyhow).  Currently running xen 3.3.1-1 installed from the repo.  it will boot to the xen kernel, but pretty much none of the modules load and thus nothing works.  has anyone made any progress on this?
