By the way, it took us a little while to figure out that building custom kernels was just like building any kernel once xen was initially installed other than needing to specify ARCH=xen. We kept wondering why every time we ran make world, we would overwrite our configurations! When you first install xen, it will make its kernel trees. You can control the number, names and kernels of the trees by editing Makefile and the buildconfigs files. Once that is done, one can copy the kernel trees for various customizations. Then do typical make ARCH=xen menuconfig make ARCH=xen deps make ARCH=xen make ARCH=xen modules make ARCH=xen modules_install mkinitrd etc. Remember to copy the /lib/modules/<kernel directory> to the domain. I think those are the main points we had to work out. Hope this helps - John -- John A.
