Been trying to get Xen working on this machine for over two weeks. Every
time I end up against a brick wall again.

Tried the xen LiveCD on this machine (Athlon 64 X2 running Suse Linux
10.1) and it worked. Had 3 vms working with no problem. The base Suse
10.1 xen kernel works up to a point, that is I can xm list and get the
correct output, start a prebuilt guest, but it never comes up on
screent. Try stopping it, it says it says vm does not exist.

So, downloaded the xen-3.0.3_0-src tarball and follow instructions
compiling. Do a make dist and get 

... x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch
/bin/sh:
patches/linux-2.6.16.29/x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch:
 No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ref-linux-2.6.16.29/.valid-ref] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/afore/Downloads/xen-3.0.3_0-src'
make[1]: *** [linux-2.6-xen-install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/afore/Downloads/xen-3.0.3_0-src'
make: *** [install-kernels] Error 1

It downloaded the 2.6.16.29 kernel files, unpacked them, then looks like
it applied a bunch of patches up to the last one above. Other than that,
the error message is unintelligible to me. Can anyone tell me what the
problem is form the very cryptic error messages shown above?
