因为要修改Xen的源码，所以不得不要源码编译安装Xen，这真是体力活啊。其实编译一个 Xen 内核和编译一个普通 Linux 内核没有什么不同，如果发现编译后的内核启动不了，出现 kernel panic 的情况，多半是内核与机器的硬件没有配置好的原因，和 Xen 没有关系。
本文使用的环境是：CentOS 6.5 + linux-3.16.49内核 + xen-4.6.3
安装前的配置和安装需要的软件包
CentOS6.5系统安装以后，首先是要关闭SELinux的功能(缺省为enforcing状态):
[root@centos ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted 也可以考虑配一个速度快的yum源。
之后，更新系统，并且安装编译 Xen 所需要的编译器、工具、软件库等：#yum update
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum install transfig wget tar less texi2html libaio-devel dev86 glibc-devel e2fsprogs-devel gitk mkinitrd iasl xz-devel bzip2-devel
# yum install pciutils-libs pciutils-devel SDL-devel libX11-devel gtk2-devel bridge-utils PyXML qemu-common qemu-img mercurial texinfo
# yum install libidn-devel yajl yajl-devel ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-findlib-devel python-devel uuid-devel libuuid-devel openssl-devel
# yum install python-markdown pandoc systemd-devel glibc-devel.i686安装Xen
到 Xen官网下载相应的源码包后编译、安装：# tar zxvf xen-4.6.3.tar.gz
# cd xen-4.6.3
# ./configure
# make -j4 dist
# make install
安装 dom0 内核
这一步其实就是安装一个支持Xen的内核，在安装Xen之前或者之后进行都可以，但因为要配置内核以支持Xen，所以应该只能通过编译的方式来安装内核了吧。下载相应的 Linux 内核源代码（从内核 2.6.39+ 开始 Linux 内核全面、正式的支持 Xen，但是一些必须的backend模块，直到linux3.0才加进来，也就是说3.0后的linux kernel对xen的支持才比较完美），配置 dom0 内核、编译、安装：
# tar xf linux-3.16.49.tar.xz
# cd linux-3.16.49
# make menuconfig1，进入 Processor type and features --->[*] Xen guest support
选择下面这些选项：
2，进入Device Drivers ---> Block devices ---> <*> Xen virtual block device support
<*> Xen block-device backend driver
3、 Device Drivers --->Xen driver support 把下面的都选上
4， Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> <*> Xen network device frontend driver
<*> Xen backend network device
注意：
有的机器可能会遇到Device Drivers —> Xen driver support这个选项失踪的问题，这跟机器架构与系统配置有关，必须得打开处理器支持虚拟化的功能（进入BOIS），但有些机器太老可能没有这个功能。
还有就是配置完menuconfig后还是最后打开.config文件看一下，确保有以下模块（我就是安装完成后才发现缺少xenfs模块）：
# vi .config
...
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS=y (optional)
CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y
CONFIG_PCI_XEN=y

CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
...# make -j 4
# make modules_install
# make install我安装的时候出现下面这些错误，
[root@bogon linux-3.16.49]# make install

在这之前安装的Xen和Linux内核是没有任何联系的，所以修改Grub使Linux内核以支持Xen的方式启动，其实就是添加一个含有Xen的启动项。[root@bogon ye]# cat /etc/grub.conf

重启运行xl info可能还是会报错的：

# mount -t xenfs xenfs /proc/xen
# ls /proc/xen/
capabilities privcmd xenbus xsd_kva xsd_port（我的xenfs模块没有编译进内核，希望不会有影响）
# /etc/init.d/xencommons start# chkconfig xencommons on
# chkconfig xendomains on
