Get kernel source.

Patch with Xen patch.

Configure kernel as normal making sure that you have something like
the following options:

Xen ->
(disable) privileged guest
network device frontend
block device frontend

Compile kernel as normal and then mention it in a domain config.

Which step are you having problems with?

At the moment I compile my kernels on Debian so I would not know but
I'm sure there are HOWTOs out there.

I basicly dont really know much about compiling, I need a blow by blow
guide, I havent been able to piece together any of the different parts
I have found to get it working.

Grab the 2.6.11 tarball and put it in your Xen source tree.

Then do "make dist".

Then do:
cd linux-2.6.11-xenU
make ARCH=xen menuconfig

Set up ip tables

cd ..
make dist

I think this should work, as lng as we're preserving the config files in the
right places.
