I have downloaded the source files of XEN 3.0.3-0 just the week after it was
made available, ie end october 2005. I had to change my Linux distro to 
ubuntu 6.10
because the former 6.06 LTS did not support a new replacement graphic card.
The (actual) kernel is 2.6.17.10. I checked the dependencies and 
compiled the sources
with gcc 4.1 and the most recent version of the other modules required. 
That is done by the
script

$ make dist CC=gcc-4.1 verbose=y debug=y perfc=y debugger=y
$ make install CC=gcc-4.1 verbose=y debug=y perfc=y debugger=y

As the image crashed, the SATA drivers were suspected and I changed by 
hand the configuration file
in .../xen-3.0.3/linux-2.6.16.29-xen0/.config enabling the SATA options
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW=y
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_MV=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y

The other kernel options were unchanged. In the top Makefile I changed 
the variable

KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU

and patched panic.c (addition of the function __stack_chk_fail) as 
someone on the list indicated.

Afterwards, I added the boot options to enable the console during boot, 
through
the first serial port, as indicated in the manual. Nothing was recompiled.
