You need to build a new kernel with the appropriate drivers for your system.
Get the source distro, build it initially with make dist then go into the xen0
kernel directory, customise the config, then go back to the top level and
make dist again. (should work, I believe)
Customise the config by doing:
make ARCH=xen menuconfig
or look through the defconfig files under arch/xen/config - the defconfig-xen
file (not xenU or xen0) might already do what you want - if you want to use
it copy it to .config in the Linux kernel directory.
Cheers,
Mark
