What are you planning to use it for? From my experince, if you're
going to use it for production purposes, it's MUCH simpler to simply
use vendor-provided kernels.

Well, I just tried using kernel 2.6.28.6 (32bit PAE), disable modules,
unselecting IDE, scsi, etc. (basically selecting only the xen frontend
for disk and network), and it works (using busybox as init, stored on
ext3).

Here's my .config : http://pastebin.com/f2ad5ed12
Here's screen capture when domU starting : http://pastebin.com/d7c810afc

My dom0 is RHEL 5.3 x86_64, Xen 3.3.1 from gitco
