Short story: I find that newer kernels (pv_ops or forward-ported suse
kernel) is somewhat tricky. Like when you choose a wrong config option
it can refuse to boot with no apparent cause. So I suggest you try
with a known good .config first.

Attached is my config, for use with
http://x17.eu/xen/linux-2.6.29.6-xen.aka.suse-xenified-2.6.29-62.1-rebased.patches.by.andrew.lyon.tar.gz

This config is domU-specific, 64bit kernel, with drivers for physical
devices (including aacraid) NOT built, and most drivers required for
domU to boot (like xen vbd, ext3, etc.) built in.
