7.4.5 Building Your Own RPMs
If you do not have a driver pack that is compatible with your Linux kernel, you can
build your own SUSE Drivers for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on Xen RPM.
1
Open a terminal.
2 Mount the driver pack ISO. For instructions on how to use the ISO images see
Section 5.1, “Virtual CD Readers” (page 33).
3 Enter
rpmbuild -–rebuild xxx .src.rpm
, where
xxx
is the name for
the source RPM. This creates a binary RPM in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
arch /
, where
arch
is the architecture of the virtual machine.
7.5 SUSE Drivers for Windows on Xen
TIP
Do not give the server a fixed IP address before installing the driver pack,
otherwise you have to switch to a different intermediate IP address before
finishing the installation.
1 Launch the Virtual Machine Manager and start your Windows* virtual ma-
chine.
2 Set up the ISO image or CD of the drivers you want to install as a virtual CD
reader by following the instructions at
Section 5.1.3, “Adding Virtual CD
Readers” (page 35). The ISO images are found in the SLES 10 virtual machine
host
opt/novell/vm-driver-pack/xen
directory.
3 Right-click the virtual CD-ROM you just added, then click Autoplay.
If a security alert appears, indicating the Bus driver has not been properly
signed, click Yes to install the Bus driver software. It is important that you do
not click No.
