[Xen-users] Recompiling a xen-enabled kernel "the Debian way" (lenny)

[Tyler Morgan <tylerm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hello all, I got xen working under lenny without any problems by 
installing it from the deb packages and really like it.
However, for us to use it in a production environment, I have to 
recompile the default Debian kernel for some tuning and mainly to strip 
it down to exactly what we need on the servers.
I'm close, but erroring out near the end and don't know why, but it has 
to do with the ARCH (I think)...
This process below works fine for recompiling the kernel, but at no 
point do I get the "Compile a xen compatiable kernel" option under "make 
menuconfig", and thus I am left with a xen-less kernel using this method:
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.26 linux-patch-debian-2.6.26 kernel-package

Then I have to deal with Debian Bug #508487 where someone posted a 
workaround (see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508487)
I can go into /usr/src/linux-2.6.26 and "make menuconfig", but I have no 
xen options.
But I can compile a perfectly working kernel using:
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=XXX --added-patches xen 
kernel_image
That results in a xen-less kernel, but at least it compiles.



So I'm thinking, how do I actually add the xen patch to the kernel? It 
seems the way to do this is:
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.26/apply/debian -a amd64 -f xen

Which gives a lot of promising output:

And then I can "make menuconfig" and see xen options! Yay!

But when I actually try to compile it, using the exact same line:

make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=XXX --added-patches xen 
kernel_image
It errors out:

Why? :-(

I really have no idea what it's complaining about.

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly 
appreciated. I'd be happy to provide any additional info needed. Thanks!
