OK.

how do I configure the kernels?

I only want the dom0 to have drivesr for the hardware I have and not any more.

Given I have tired the methods described in the README and it does not
work... what do I do?

Well, it can be difficult to figure out exasctly what drivers are for "the hardware I have". Which driver supports your ethernet chipset, raid controllers, and graphics cards can be nightmarish to figure out, even for an expert, and change very quickly when you add USB components.

Can you start with the default kernel and its configuration file, and scale back from there to the drivers you really need? Or acn you build and install the Xen default kernel for your distribution, simply rename it, and boot tat?
