Jeffrey,

I did not build Xen on 9.3, instead I used 9.2, basically because
I live in a country where there is not access even to 9.2 disks,
and I downloaded the ISO images and wrote the CD myself,
what I cannot do with 9.3 yet - there is no ISO images from
Novell SUSE yet :(

Still, it should not be that different. I just downloaded Xen source
from Xen site, applied all needed and dependencies packages - 
for compilation and devel - and, the most important, grab the 
linux-2.6.10 from kernel.org and put the file into the directory 
created by the untargzip of the Xen source.

Then I read the :

# make xen
# make tools
# make kernels

Was enough for what I want. After that,

# make install-xen
# make install-tools
# make install-kernels
