1) install package linux-source
2) apply xen patches
3) make menuconfig (configure kernel)
4) install package kernel-package
5) run make-kpkg

That should be enough.

 Hi Sassy Natan,

I would be interested in knowing how one might make a custom debian binary (deb file) from xen sources, thanks.

Debian version is quite old and miss alot
I think the best way is to grub novell patches of xen (old style) and apply this to a new kernel (like 2.6.31-5) an compile it.
Then u can use xen hypervisor and xen tools 3.4
I might publish it as deb files if u need, but then u will have to use ubuntu 9.10, since I find Lenny also quite old, and the new sid debian version seem to be more stable. Sassy

        You may want to build and use the 2.6.18-xen kernel from source as
