It looks like I managed to fix the errors. I ran "make world" and let
it download the kernel source and apply the patches itself. Then I
cd'ed into xen.../linux-2.6.12-xen0/ and ran "make ARCH=xen menuconfig"
to change settings and load a .config file from one of my previous
kernels. Then I re-ran make world, followed by make install. It looks
like that took my customizations and everything worked properly, though
of course the acid test will be booting both the xen0 and xenU kernels.
I am waiting until tomorrow for that part of the test though... I don't
feel like having to make an after hours call to get somebody to fix a
non-bootable machine for me. :-)

Thanks,
Jacob
