[arch-general] Booting Arch under Xen via pv-grub. Was: Re: [signoff] kernel26 2.6.35.7-1

[Liu Yu Fei, Eric]

My VPS is also on Linode.
I have just changed my mkinitcpio.conf to

MODULES="xen-fbfront evtchn xenfs xen-blkfront xen-netfront xen-kbdfront
netxen_nic"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"

However, when executing the command "mkinitcpio -k 2.6.35-ARCH", I got the
following errors:

ERROR: module 'xen_fbfront' not found
ERROR: module 'evtchn' not found
ERROR: module 'xenfs' not found
ERROR: module 'xen_blkfront' not found
ERROR: module 'xen_netfront' not found
ERROR: module 'xen_kbdfront' not found

And then I check for the kernel module files:

darkwhite at www:~$ ls
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/xen-kbdfront.ko
ls: cannot access
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/xen-kbdfront.ko: No such file

darkwhite at www:~$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/xen/evtchn.ko
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/xen/evtchn.ko: No
such file or directory
darkwhite at www:~$ ls
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/xen/xenfs/xenfs.ko
ls: cannot access
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/xen/xenfs/xenfs.ko: No such file or
directory
darkwhite at www:~$ ls
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic.ko

So I am wondering whether there is something wrong during the packaging
process?
