You can't use a kernel.org kernel, as the xen feature is a patch developed external to the mainline kernel. You can use the normal Debian kernel source and compile like you would normally, making sure to select the xen patch. This will result in a kernel you can use with module-assistant. But you can use module-assistant with the stock debian xen kernel so I am not clear as tp why you need to do this. > so how do you compile a xen dom0 host-kernel? is it possible with recent > kernel sources, and where do i find the corresponding xen patches? They come with Debian's kernel source. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0x604DE5DB
