Hello,

I'm trying to write a module to play with hypercall. So I wrote the following module:

Any particular reason why you're doing this as a module rather than as a user-space programme that opens /proc/xeno/priv_cmd ?

The new Xc library in the unstable tree makes this sort of thing very easy -- there's even a binding to the python language so you can write control scripts.

However, I can't think why the module approach would be failing. Are you sure you're using xen/xenolinux/build src all from the same distribution?
