Xen users - Apr 2006 - compiling kernel 2.6.16 in xen3 unstable

Hello,

What is the right way to compile a kernel using xen3 unstable? As I saw
in this list, the olda way (make ARCH=xen) is depricated. But when I
simply set the architecture to Xen-Compatible in the kernel config
(CONFIG_X86_XEN=y), and use simple make, the compiled kernel crashes as
soon as Xen starts it (dom0).

Answering my own mail, just for the archive :)
Xen3 unstable seems to be NOT compatible with Xen3.0.1. With the
hypervisor version 3.0.1, I couldn''t boot a kernel built from the
unstable source. With the xen3 unstable hypervisor running, the kernel
boots.

Yes. 

We aim to maintain ''old'' guest compatability on newer
hypervisors, but
not the other way round, at least for now. 

cheers,
