By the way, it took us a little while to figure out that building custom
kernels was just like building any kernel once xen was initially
installed other than needing to specify ARCH=xen. We kept wondering why
every time we ran make world, we would overwrite our configurations!
When you first install xen, it will make its kernel trees. You can
control the number, names and kernels of the trees by editing Makefile
and the buildconfigs files. Once that is done, one can copy the kernel
trees for various customizations. Then do typical
make ARCH=xen menuconfig
make ARCH=xen deps
make ARCH=xen
make ARCH=xen modules
make ARCH=xen modules_install
mkinitrd
etc.
Remember to copy the /lib/modules/<kernel directory> to the domain.
I think those are the main points we had to work out. Hope this helps -
