Subject: [Xen-users] How to write DomU from an existing Linux kernel(Paravirtualization)

Hi all
        Just out of curiousity,what would i have to do to write a DomU from an existing Linux kernel?
(Paravirtualization). I mean DomU of most distros are already available ,but i  want to understand what all parts of the kernel are to be changed so that it can be used as a DomU in a Paravirtualization mode.
Can someone give me a link which can explain the modifications required in some detail ?(other than just saying the memory management code has to be changed)

Thanks....

You can review the contents of the source for the Xen kernel, and especially the config files, to look for the changes. For the RPM's, for example, they do install a /boot/config-[kernelname] which can be compared to that of a default kernel.
