Okay. Well It has been a long time (6 months+) since I did this as these days the stock debian xen kernels are fine for me, but.. > > You can use the normal Debian kernel source and compile like you > > would normally, making sure to select the xen patch. > > Unfortunately, this simply doesn't work.

So you have also installed linux-patch-debian-* and then done: $ sudo make-kpkg --added-patches xen clean $ sudo make-kpkg --added-patches xen kernel-image ? Also back when I did it, this bug was present and needed the described workaround: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699 That is what I mean by "making sure to select the xen patch". It's the same process as used for making your own linux-vserver kernel. If you still have problems I would recommend the debian xen package mailing list.
