The very first time do :-

# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg
# cd xen-3.4-testing.hg
# make world

Next step will install standard 2.6.18.8-xen on your system

# make install

I've never customized 2.6.18.8-xen. Per README :-

5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:

    # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
    # make linux-2.6-xen-build
    # make linux-2.6-xen-install

So, i would try just to do it afterwards .
Different option ( i understand, that it would build kernel twice) :-
  
     # make world
     # make install-xen
     # make install-tools
     # make install-stubdom

      Rebuild and install customized kernel

     # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
     # make linux-2.6-xen-build
     # make linux-2.6-xen-install

Hi,

I am new to Xen and trying to install xen 3.4.0 on a Linux
box.
I followed the user manual packaged in the tar ball and in
section 2.4.2,
"To customize the set of kernels built you need to edit the
top-level Makefile. Look for the line:
KERNELS ? + linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU
..."

Unfortunately, I did not find that, is the manual out of
date?


Best regards,

Donglai
