CentOS virt - May 2008 - build custom domU kernel from centos kernel source

Hi, i am trying to build a custom xen kernel from CentOS source kernel rpm .
What i want to achieve is to have custom domU kernel without modules, which
will boot domU machine without having /lib/modules .
My first try is to simple disable Loadable module support , so i have
followed tutorial on CentOS wiki for kernel building
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel .

Now it is building, my question is will it work? - again all i have done is
to disabled loadable module support.
Can someone please point me to sucessfull end?

Thanks in advance!

D.

Why would you want to do that? Besides that it is not supported, you
don't get the comfort of automatic kernel security updates.

Take care,
