Wow :-)

I just did "make world" on 3745 - it did not build free/netbsd or linux-2.4.
Maybe I am wrong, tho. However, 315[12] and the rest look ok and should work.

That is because when you do a menuconfig yourself, the config is setup for a
xenU kernel, thus real hardware support is disabled. The drawback(s) are
that you'd have to enable real hardware support, *and* support for PCI,
some other things that are very very fundamental and so on.
I f***ed it up myself this way, asked on this list ;-) so it is most likely
you want your .config -file to be a copy of a xen0 preconfigured config
file. These are, iirc, in xen-2.0.6-stable/xen/arch/.... something.
Sorry I don't remember. Go to the xen/ subdir and type:
$ find . -name \*xen0\*
or
$ find . -name \*conf\*xen\*

I think the names are like that. Then copy those to linux-2.6.XX-YY/ 
directory as a ".config" file. Maybe you must do a make ARCH=xen oldconfig,
never really got for what that target is for, anyway.
