Thanks for the prompt reply. I am using Debian(Lenny) on amd64. What I want to do is, I want to take fresh vanilla source and build the kernel according to my hardware specifications with XEN Paravirtualized configurations selected. I can do this stuff pretty easily. But I need help in installing XEN hypervisor on it from source.
I do not really understand how you are patching xen installation with kernel installation in the procedure you mentioned below.
Thanks for the explication and help :)

Which platform are you using? Fedora or debian? which version? Below are some basic steps of building it with pv os kernel in a fedora11 platform:-
- Be certain you have dev tools installed: ‘yum install “Development Tools”‘
- You’ll also need: ‘yum install mercurial gitk dev86 vnc-server
bridge-utils zlib-devel openssl-devel python-devel libX11-devel
ncurses-devel’
Build / Install Xen
- cd /usr/src
- hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg
- cd xen-3.4-testing.hg
- make xen
- make install-xen
- make tools
- make install-tools
Build PV Ops Kernel
- cd /usr/src/kernels
- git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen
-
cd linux-2.6-xen
- git checkout origin/xen-tip/master -b xen-tip/master
- make menuconfig (Check the Xen options, I’m too tired to go over them all)
- make
- make modules_install install
Create a Grub Entry:
title Xen 3.4 / Fedora kernel 2.6.30-rc6-tip
kernel /boot/xen-3.4.gz
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-rc6-tip root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup01/vg_fedora11 ro
module /boot/initrd-2.6.30-rc6-tip.img
Add Entry to /etc/fstab
none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0
Reboot and there ya go…
I still need to bring up the python tools like virt-install and virsh, maybe after I get a break.
