hi

i tried 2 different kernel version 3.1.0-rc9+ (jeremy/xen.git) and 
3.5.0+ (konrad/xen.git): same error in both versions 
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps)
i've noticed initramfs is huge, i dont know why, i've just followed the 
xen wiki to compile xenified kernel, no special options:

fresh install
clone git kernel-xen
cp config-runningversion .config
make oldconfig
enabling all raccomanded xen options in .config (static should be ok)
make bzImage
make modules
make install_modules
cp bzImage, system.map, .config in /boot dir
dracut initramfs...

standard procedure end no error compiling kernels.
same for xen-unstable or xen-4.2.0-rc2 tarball 
(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora)

git clone xe-unstable (or untar)
.configure (no error, no warning)
make xen && make tools && make stubdom
make install-xen && make install-tools && make install-stubdom

with different standard linux distributions (fedora 16-grub2, ubuntu 
12.04-grub2, centos 6.3-grub itself) i can boot and run system.

thanks for quick answer and for help!

regards.
