specifying KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" will compile 
linux-2.6.18-xen,
that's how it should be.

If you don't specify KERNELS= at all, then it'll build linux-2.6.31.x kernel.
Or alternatively you can specify KERNELS="linux-2.6-pvops" to get the same 
result.

Did you know you can use the *default* (vanilla) kernel.org Linux kernels as 
Xen PV domU? 
No patches needed for that, the upstream kernels will work for domU.
