Thanks for sharing the info. I got it working too. The
problem was with some package installation. Now I got
2.6.9 and 2.4.30 kernels working together. Thanks
everybody for replying my mail.

But I''m looking for 2.4.22 kernel work on Xen. I
couldn''t find patch for this kernel version. Is there
a patch available or is there a way to create a parch
for this kernel ?

Thanks,
Siju
