Have you seen Gert Knorr's reply to Xen-users?

Thank you Gert!

I think you are on the right track using KOTD, but are you aware that
that you need two pieces to get sources that you can build the SuSE
Xen kernel from?


ftp://your.suse.mirror.here/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD/kernel-xen-2.6.11.10-20050524103609.abuild-extra.tar.gz

ftp://your.suse.mirror.here/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD/kernel-source-2.6.11.10-20050524103609.src.rpm

In fact I tried using the stuff in following place
instead:
 ftp://your.suse.mirror.here/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/9.3-i386/SL93_BRANCH/

i.e. not kernel-source-<version>.i586.rpm
but kernel-source-<version>.src.rpm
and kernel-xen-<version>.abuild-extra.tar.gz

you need to do

rpm -i kernel-source-<version>.src.rpm
cat kernel-xen-<version>.abuild-extra.tar.gz | \
  (cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE/ && tar xf - )

Then either build using rpmbuild and the kernel-xen.spec file
or manually with make ARCH=xen config ; make ARCH=xen

Remember to set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y

I am busy compiling this at the moment :)
