What I found was useful was to double check all the sata and ahci sections and
compile those as modules, same with all the USB host options.
Next, in the RAID and LVM section compile everything statically into the kernel.
When making the RAM disk I think it worked when I used --preload=sg
--preload=ahci --preload=sd_mod or something like that, I Can't remember at
this time.
Let me know if those options in the kernel recompile help.

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Compiling Xen-3.2.0
thanks to everybody but I am giving up, I managed to compile xen on two servers
so far, everything was smooth..
not with this F@#.#ING HP laptop, I tried basically everything and I was indeed
updating the correct .config
Problem might be in a conflict in the sata section, somewhere around modules
pata_atiixp and ahci, so if I enable the old ATA disk access it asks me for the
sata_sil, so I enable the scsi and sata_sil and it asks me pata_atiixp
............it's a loop!
Then I found this page
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
and I believe the problem it's only about finding the correct combination of
modules for my sata implementation.
anyone managed to install xen 3.2 on a laptop (with sata) ?

My advice is to use go to the Linux kernel source, use whatever make
target you want and add "O=$BUILDDIR".
For example:
% root# cd linux-2.6-git
% root# make menuconfig O=../build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64
Hope this helps.
