Thank you ;-)

I asked the question because when I rebooted into Xen it was very slow
to start & no modules were loaded ie ethernet sound etc... after what
seems like hours I got console prompt & that was it ....

Not using Gentoo ebuilds mean nothing to me ... I wondered if I could
patch my working kernel in some way to get Xen to work ?
