Strange...  After a make world it should be in dist/install/boot/.  What *is* 
in that directory?

There shouldn't be any object files in the sparse tree.  The 
linux-2.6.11-xen[0U] trees (which are created during make dist) contain the 
vmlinux files.  If you make dist / world then the vmlinuz files will end up 
in dist/install/boot/.

Yes, you need that so the kernel can host the drivers for your hardware 
devices.

They don't *need* to be selected.  If they are selected, however, the only 
harm is a slightly larger kernel.  There are no compatibility / security 
issues here.
