Finally got the zen kernel compiled. the README file is wrong. I also
needed to install bin86, dev86, and glibc -32bit.

Doing a /sbin/mkinitrd -m "aacraid sd_mod scsi_mod" -k
"vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen" -i "initrd-xen-3.0.3" 

results in kernel panic on boot

Doing /sbin/mkinitrd -k "vmlinuz-2.6.16.29-xen" -i "initrd-xen-3.0.3" 

Allows me to boot into xen.

Running xm create suse.hvm (for the img file from the Live CD) gets
unrecognized boot device.

running depmod -v 2.6.16.29-xen results in almost every *.ko needs
something.

Notice there are symsets and symtypes for the other kernels, but only
exeuteables xen-syms-3.0.3-0 and vmlinux-syms-2.6/16/29-xen for the xen
kernel. Why is this? could this be the problem with depmod?

I do not think this kernel has ever been compiled for Athlon 64 X2 AMD2
socket. Otherwise, the README file would not be so wrong.
