RE: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure
Oh ok seems straight forward, I assume the kernel config remains the
same? i.e kernel drivers specified on first install are still in the
config.

You can do "make uninstall", but you need to have the "old" version of
source-code on the target machine to do this. [Which is great for
developers that use the a single machine for Xen-development and
testing].

I meant from the machine you build Xen from Sources on - if that's one
of your servers or some other machine, I can't say.
This is what I do:
# cd $XEN_ROOT
# make dist
# tar cjf dist.tar.bz2 dist
# scp dist.tar.bz2 some_machine:/tmp
# ssh some_machine
# cd tmp
# rm -rf dist ## Remove the OLD dist directory, if there is one.
# tar xjf dist.tar.bz2
# ./dist/install.sh
# reboot
# exit
