Sorry to keep posting, just wanted to update this on where I am now.
I've gotten Xen working for dom0, but I haven't gone past that because
when using the Xen kernel, there's no support for fat filesystems (which
contain a lot of what I need, though I don't use Windows anymore, I
don't have the space to backup everything to format to ext3) and no
support for sound. I'm using Alsa by the way. I've tried to recompile
the kernel in different ways. First off, I tried "make ARCH=xen xconfig"
and enabling what I needed, "make ARCH=xen oldconfig" after restoring my
.config from my current kernel, and finally, using mkbuildtree to
xen-ify my kernel source (2.6.10) and then loading the .config from
xconfig. None of these worked, they would keep failing for different
reasons. I can be more specific if I need to, I'm just wondering what
the "right way" to get the exact same options that are in my kernel now,
along with the xen options.
I'm using Ubuntu Linux (a Debian variant), and though I'm using a stock
kernel, I have had experience with compiling my own kernel before.
Thanks in advance!

I installed Fedora Core 3, which from what I heard was much easier to
get things going in. I saw that I had to be running the devel release to
get the rpms from the yum repository, so I changed my yum.conf, and got
them installed.
Only problem is, it broke yum, up2date, and system-config-packages
because of a new version of python. Maybe I had to be running EVERYTHING
development, I don't know. Anyway, the kernel from the Fedora packages
doesn't run with Ubuntu AT ALL. I get a kernel panic but it goes away
before I can read the details. So I'll revise my questions:
Are there prebuilt packages like the ones for Fedora available for
Debian or any other distributions?
Is there any other way to install the Fedora RPMs than having to upgrade
a lot of packages to unstable?
When doing things the any-linux way, what's the proper way of getting
the old .config file to stick with the new config from Xen's setup?
Basically, I really don't care which distro I get it going in, as long
as vmlinuz-xxx-dom0 has the options I need and it doesn't break the system.
Again, Thanks in advance!
