Hmmm... I really have problems using those packages.

Is there someone who is using those packages, if so... how do you use them?

What kernel-source (from where) are you patching?

Maybe a small step-by-step guide would be good.

My problem is that I can't get a kernel compiled "the debian way" ... into a 
debian package.

I'm not sure if I should use vanilla or not, but I've downloaded the vanilla 
2.6.10 which kernel-patch-xen_2.0.5-1_i386.deb is for (I think). I've 
installed kernel-patch-xen_2.0.5-1_i386.deb and then copied my .config into 
source directory and run:
make-kpkg --added-patches=xen --revision=xenserver.0.1 kernel_image

It compiles fine, but is this the right way of doing it if I want a debian 
package?

"make ARCH=xen menuconfig" fails since there is no xen arch in vanilla.

Also I get this when trying to install the 2.0.5 Debian packages:
Python C API version mismatch for module xen.lowlevel.xu: This Python has API 
version 1012, module xen.lowlevel.xu has version 1011.

Thanks.
