Thanks, Jan

I changed the URL in .git/config and 'git submodule update --init' worked and populated the ./linux directory. Then, I ran

./configure
make sync
make

but I got a build error:

$ make

I am compiling against a RHEL6 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 kernel. I am not sure if this is feasible. I've read the section "building an external module with older kernels" in http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Code, but I am not sure if that applies to my x86_64 architecture.

Thanks and regards,
Juan

Hi,

I cloned the KVM external module kit from http://git.kiszka.org/?p=kvm-kmod.git.
Following the README, when I try to build it by running 'git submodule update',
I get an error:

$ git submodule initSubmodule 'linux' (http://git.kiszka.org/kvm.git) registered
for path 'linux'
$ git submodule update
Cloning into 'linux'...
fatal: http://git.kiszka.org/kvm.git/info/refs not found: did you run git
update-server-info on the server?
Clone of 'http://git.kiszka.org/kvm.git' into submodule path 'linux' failed
The default submodule path assumes that kvm-kmod is still hosted on
kernel.org. I will fix this.

Meanwhile you need to set

[submodule "linux"]
         url = http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git

in .git/config of your kvm-kmod clone.
