No ,  nothing like specific dom0 kernel. Anything that works and
fairly latest is
good enough.

Pasi , followed following steps :
# wget -c http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.0/xen-4.0.0.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf xen-4.0.0.tar.gz
# cd xen-4.0.0
# cd ..
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
# make -j2 world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU"
# make install <------------ this step downloaded jeremy's pvops
kernel and build it.

can you give me some advise on this ...

Regards,
Onkar
