I don't think the 3.0.4 RPM's would do very well on a Debian etch
dom-0 :) Alien may be able to (sort of) prop the Xen binaries themselves
in place, but I wouldn't trust the kernels. 

Unless of course, you mis read the post. His guest is a RHEL-ish distro,
not dom-0.

Building from mercurial has always been a (very) safe bet for success in
my experience, regardless of the distribution. It [Xen] builds *very*
easily on GNU systems, especially Ubuntu.
