Yes, thank-you.

So, I tried using the linux-2.6-hg kernel tree. I chose this one  
because I'd like to use known repeatable Xen installations if  
possible, i.e. 3.0.1 at the moment, and build a kernel that will work  
with those stable releases.
I did....

        cd /usr/src
        hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6-xen.hg
        cd linux-2.6-xen.hg
        make menuconfig
                Processor type and features
                        Subarchitecture type
                                Choose Xen-compatible
                Exit and save
        make

The build process fails like this....

        dom0a:/usr/src/linux-2.6-xen.hg# make
          CHK     include/linux/version.h
          CHK     include/linux/compile.h

        dom0a:/usr/src/linux-2.6-xen.hg#

I'm trying http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.0-testing.hg instead now.

Cheers,

Mark.
