Hi,

I am required to install Xen on a few machines.

These machines have RHEL installed from pre built
images with customized kernels and specific drivers. I
need to make these kernels Xen capable without
modification to their existing configuration except
for the minimum required components for xen. I need to
have the same kernel and the operating system
environment for the dom0 and domU for various reasons.

Can this be done if so how. Any suggestions or
pointers to the available doc would be of great help

Unfortunately, your question is unclear. Do you need to use a special
Kernel in dom0 which is made from source code and patches (as opposed
to just a changed config, of which it's documented in the readme how
to make a kernel with a custom config) other than that provided in the
xen packages or sources?

If so, please search the archive, this question os often handled here.
Short: this is a hard task, better don't even start if you're not a
seasoned kernel coder.

Henning
