The default xen kernel configs for linux are stored in the
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/arch/xen/configs/ directory. Depending on the
architecture/build, make will use a different config file.

If you want your own config file to be used, simply name the file
config-<kernel_version>.<extraversion>-xen0 (for privileged domains)
or config-<kernel_version>.<extraversion>-xenU (for nonprivileged
domains) and place them within the dist/install/boot directory of your
xen source directory.

The kernel_version, as of Xen 3.0, is 2.6.12, and extraversion is 6
(you can infer this from the patches stored in the patches directory
of the xen source directory.

HTH,

gino ledesma
