I am trying to compile current 2.6.29 kernel (as described here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps), but without success yet.

When trying to boot ./vmlinux ro ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage (also with
xen-hypervisor-3.3.1-3.fc11) I still get something like this:

(XEN) *** LOADING DOMAIN 0 ***
(XEN) elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the generic
loader or Linux images

My grub.conf entry:
title Xen TEST
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/xen-3.3.gz noreboot
        module /boot/xen/vmlinux root=/dev/sda1 ro earlyprintk=xen pci=nomsi
        module /boot/xen/initrd.img

[root at note ~]# file /boot/xen-3.3.gz /boot/xen/vmlinux /boot/xen/initrd.img /boot/xen/bzImage

[root at note ~]# rpm -q xen-hypervisor
xen-hypervisor-3.3.1-3.fc11.i386
[root at note ~]# 

My bzImage boots well with modified grub to boot it as "kernel" and not
using xen-3.3 loader.

What I am doing wrong?
Can sombody send me kernel.config file for 2.6.29, something similar to old
kernel-xen rpm package's config?
