So I got the xen source, ran "make xen", "make tools", the copied my custom 
Linux kernel .config to dist/install/boot/config-2.6.11-xen0 and ran "make 
kernels".  When I went into the kernel linux-2.6.11-xen0 and ran "make ARCH=xen 
menuconfig" to check to see if my custom kernel options were there they 
weren't.  So xen ignored my config.

So I copied in my custom .config to xen-unstable/linux-2.6.11-xen0/ and
ran "make kernels" again.  Then copied the vmlinuz-2.6.11.8-xen0 kernel
image and accompanying System.map from xen-unstable/dist/install/boot/
to /boot and put a stanza in lilo.conf.  Here's what happens when I run
lilo:

# lilo
Fatal: Setup length exceeds 31 maximum; kernel setup will overwrite boot
loader


I've never seen this sort of message from lilo before.
