As I understand it, you have to patch the kernel to get Xen support - 
some distributions (at least Redhat and Ubuntu) offer Xen-patches for 
kernels up to 2.6.24, but I'm not sure how much of the 
distribution-specific kernel-patches (which are not in the mainline 
kernel) are needed to get Xen working.
I am experimenting with 2.6.24 and Xen at the moment, but there are 
still ("normal") kernel issues I have to look into before I can take a 
look at its Xen support.
If anyone has more experience, I'd gladly hear of it :)

Greetings,

Jens
