[Xen-devel] Building and Configuring with a Patch

I''m trying to build Xen with an external patch applied.  I''ve
put this patch
in patches/linux-2.6.18/, and added its name to the series file.

However, when I run the make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig (not
at my Xen terminal now, but whatever commands are in the bottom of README in
xen-unstable), I go through the menuconfig, and everything seems fine.
However, when I run the make linux-2.6-xen-build, and config file that gets
put into dist/ isn''t the what I menuconfiged - it seems to be the
.config
before the menuconfig.  The kernel that gets installed, in the next step,
obviously is missing the menuconfig changes as well.

So my question - how am I supposed to patch and config a custom Xen kernel?
Are the steps in the bottom of the README actually correct?

Also - I used to just cd to linux-2.6.18, and make menuconfig from there,
and do the normal Xen installation.  Why doesn''t that work now?

What is the recommended way to patch AND config the xen-unstable branch
nowadays?  I haven''t built a custom Xen kernel in 2-3 months now, and
it
seems things have changed...
