I tried it in OpenSuse 10.2. It failed because mercurial was too old.
Cloning the Linux repository with a newer Debian Etch system from a domU
worked but failed later (in OpenSuse) again because of unsupported
mercurial data format during make world.

Strange, I think it worked for me for Debian Etch but failed during
linking because it could not find a binary compatible libz in my domU.

The solution was trivial: I just installed the latest mercurial from
source in my OpenSuse dom0 system (via "make local"). It took no longer
than 1 second for build, did not require additional dependencies, ...!
Never have seen such a fast build.

With it "make world" worked well and upgrading from Xen 3.1 to 3.2
was very very smooth. Great!
