I'm trying to install Xen 4.0.1 from Source on Ubuntu 10.10 Server Edition. I started with a clean machine and followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen.

So I installed the packages mentioned there with: sudo apt-get install gettext bin86 bcc libc6-dev-i386 iasl texinfo git

When making the source with make world I get this error:

+ git clone -o xen -n git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp

fatal: git checkout: branch xen/stable-2.6.32.x already exists
make[3]: *** [linux-2.6-pvops.git/.valid-src] Error 128

Does anybody have an idea what i can do?
