So, I downloaded this SRPM and applied all the patches.  I modified 
buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen to say:
   LINUX_VER    = 2.6.18.3
then "make world"
I get lots of errors about duplicate definitions, e.g. alt_instr and 
LOCK_PREFIX from
 linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/asm-x86_64/mach-xen/asm/system.h
I tried fixing those piecemeal, but the hits just keep on coming.  Should I 
not be using 2.6.18.3 ?  Is there some other magic incantation I need? 
Sorry for what's probably a newb question, but I did search the archives and 
googled all over first.  I'm trying 2.8.18.1 in parallel with this email, 
but my confidence is not high.  I have spent a while on this already, but I 
am running out of time.  I'm racing the deadline for getting out a paper on 
Myrinet performance over Xen (it's very good so far with 3.0.3 on 2.6.16) 
for the IEEE conference in June.
thanks in advance,
