I'm currently trying the same.

Mark wrote a small howto
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Kernel.org_Linux_on_Xen

I've not reached the end of the howto, so I don't know if this
leads to a working kernel, but maybe it's helpful.

Maybe Sadique can field this one.

I don't have the blkfront (xenblk.ko) or netfront (xennet.ko) modules (or any of the kernel/drivers/xen tree). I go into 'make xconfig' -> Processor type and features', and check 'Enable support for Xen hypervisor'. (Everything else in 'Paravirtualization support (EXPERIMENTAL}' was already checked.) This automatically checks 4 more options for xen and hvm. I rebuild the .src.rpm (I've tried 2.6.23.15-137 and 2.6.23.14-115). Rpmbuild complains that it could not find the xennet module, continuing anyway, presumably at the mkinitrd step. When I try to load this kernel as a domu, I get invalid kernel type, whether I load it with the kernel/ramdisk= parms in the domu config, or select it in the domu's grub menu.

Using config file "/etc/xen/fc8".
VNC= 1
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

What else do I need to do to get a bootable 2.6.23 domu on fc8? Thanx.
