I have tried a number of things, but I am completely unable to prevent the download.The build system is rather unfortunate. You can completely prevent the Xen build from building a kernel by setting XKERNELS='' You'll have to build the kernel yourself then of course. I'm afraid that didn't work - it still downloaded from Mercurial, and is building it now. I'm just going to let it build, but use a kernel that I previously built. Jeremy's suggestion to "make fetch-dependencies" is I think a good one.I've tried "make xen" and "make tools", rather than "make world", but the impression I have is that they leave the build incomplete somehow. I was never able to get a DomU to load and would get all sorts of arcane messages. I promise to keep trying though - I really *want* Xen to work.I don't think it's so bad to automatically fetch all the dependencies other that Linux. One reason I wanted to have my own Linux kernel was so I could use a RAID driver that I backported to 2.6.18 from the current release. I would imagine many users would have specific requirements for their Linux kernel that the default Xen Linux cannot satisfy.
