My experience of a 2.6 kernel on a Scientific3 devfs based domU resulted in this (mad&bad) trick:

- update the distro to use kernel26 (on scientific linux cern you have instruction to do that) because modutils from 2.4 distro are not compatible with 2.6 kernel, off-course (QM_MODULES errors)
- configure domU to use host 2.6 kernel provided by Xern
- chmod a+rw /dev/* in /erc/rc.local as last command to override wrong permissions there

no problem resulted from this setup as far as until now.

Better solution out there are welcome

I have Scientific Linux 4 (Kernel 2.6) running at domain0, but i want to
use Scientific Linux 3 (Kernel 2.4) ant domainU. How to compile kernel
2.6-xen0 for domain0 and kernel 2.4-xenU for domainU?

This is only possbile with an HVM machine. Paravirtualized machines are
using the host kernel.
