In general, if you're building a domU kernel, it should be safe to use older changesets. If you're building a dom0 kernel, you really want to use a set of tools that is matched with the dom0 kernel. I don't think there have been any huge changes in the tools so I think it would be fine to pull the tools from the same snapshot that you took 2.6.15 from (which I assume is around 8740:3d7ea7972b39). > I'll be trying to merge this with the Dapper changes.

I only run Dapper on my laptop so I haven't investigated much further. Have you had any problems with Xend?
