I installed the new 2.6.18-xen kernel. I did:
make menuconfig (basically took defaults)
make dist
make install

This updated /boot/grub/menu.lst. When I try and boot the new kernel I
get his error:

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

If you google this you get 1000's of hits, most seem to have something
to do with windows. Anybody know how to fix this for my situation?

Thanks,
James
