# make ARCH=xen menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/xen/Kconfig
arch/xen/i386/Kconfig:747: can't open file "drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

# cd drivers/pci
# ln -s . pcie
# cd ../..

Now it works. Do i need to select something in the menu?

not needed anymore (with kernel 2.6)
