Thank you for replying.

I did all the steps requoted below except for using mkbuildtree - the 
.config was the default one for 2.6.12 with DLM and GFS added rather 
than my Xen .config - but i trust the .config as it's pulled from a 
working box.
The kernel builds cleanly, but I didn't try booting it (the box is a few 
miles away).
