You cand find nice "howto" for 2.6.31 kernel compilation (also
with .config files) in the second half of this page -
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps.

I would still do "make menuconfig" with these provided .config files,
IIRC there are some debug options turned on, which can negatively impact
performance (which could matter on production servers).




$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
linux-2.6-xen
$ cd linux-2.6-xen
$ git reset --hard
$ git checkout -b xen/stable-2.6.31.x origin/xen/stable-2.6.31.x
$ git pull
$ git log | less

cd linux-2.6-xen
make clean
cp -a .config .config-old
wget -O .config
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/config-2.6.31.6-pvops-dom0-xen-master-x86_64
make oldconfig
make menuconfig (if you need to change something)
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
# in the following lines replace "version" with the actual kernel
version you're compiling.
cp -a .config /boot/config-version
cp -a System.map /boot/System.map-version
cp -a arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-version
# And then generate initrd/initramfs image for your dom0 kernel, example
for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-version.img version
