For example, here's what I did:

I downloaded this Xen 2.6.22 kernel from http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel-dev/linux-2.6.22-xen-unstable mercurial repo.

I did make menuconfig, included XEN patches and got a lot of such "warning"s when I saved my config:
...
/boot/config-2.6.18.8-xen:2895:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for RTC_INTF_DEV
/boot/config-2.6.18.8-xen:2985:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ZISOFS_FS

#
# configuration written to .config
#


*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

then as suggested I ran:

make

and got the following error right in the first seconds:
...

make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2

so does anybody understand what is the problem?

Thanks,

Emre
