Thank you very much for this guidelines.
I have tried to build the module
under a normal kernel, 
but installer complains about the same error
(that the kernel is xenified). 

But it is not.
I read in other lists
that this problem is exists
for the kernels 2.6.24 and newer but I didn't
find any working solution.
