Hi, I''m totally new to Xen and I''m just trying it out. I need to build a custom kernel, so I''m wondering what the procedure is for adding Xen to a custom 2.6.11.10 kernel. Xen hasn''t merged with the kernel tree has it? Is there a guide to patching a stock kernel for Xen anywhere? The README on the source install seems to be truncated.

What you can do is go into the directory, in xen, of your kernel source, e.g.linux-2.6.11-xen-sparce, and run the command mkbuildtree. That will put the architecture files in your linux source. Then go to your Linux source tree and run make menuconfig ARCH=xen I''m new to Xen as well, but I believe that is correct. If I''m wrong someone please correct me.
