Steven,

I was trying to build inside Dom0, which is a Xen aware kernel. Am I supposed to boot back into SusE and build the drivers there? Perhaps, I need to build the drivers in the VM itself? Also, am I using the proper syntax for the build? And has the build been known to work on an x64 based system?

Thanks for your help.

This may be overridden on the command line (i386,x86_64,ia64).

Is 2.6.16.29-xen a native kernel?  The unmodified drivers are intended
to be loaded into non-Xen-aware kernels running in fully-virtualised
HVM domains.  They're unlikely to work if compiled against a Xen aware
kernel, and wouldn't be terribly useful in that case, since the
ordinary drivers do the same thing better.

Steven.
