You have to setup the Gentoo xen overlay by: emerge layman layman -L -a xen The xen-sources from Gentoo are xenified vanilla sources by the current SuSe xen patches: http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list In my case i had to add: echo ">=sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.31" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask (this might not be required by your system - try it). I use i.e. this in /etc/make.conf: You might set your own hardware arch here under "-march" - afaik should be compatible with you settings within your kernel config (CPU type). CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pointer -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" Important is "-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" as it impoves performance significantly USE="mmx sse sse2 xen ntplonly xen -gtk -gtk2 sdl ssl acpi unicode slang openssl -kde -X -zlib python perl pygrub api -cups -print screen -gnome ipv6 extensible lm_sensors ioemu diskio" "pae" is important here too if you want to run a 32bit HV with more then 6GB (<= 8GB RAM) or PAE guest images. You have to enable PAE within kernel too (64 GB RAM).
