After the hg clone finished, I noticed that 2.6.16-rc1 is the current 
kernel version. I'm compiling it right now. Do we'll see how it works. 
Noticed though that your kernel is quite "big", and could be stripped 
rather much. Don't know how much it will affect speed and memory usage, 
but it will at least reduce compile time :-)

Anyways, writing this, the compile just finished. Altough... it won't 
start. xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or 
directory. I killed and restarted xenconsoled. And now something else is 
crashing...

# xm crate -c crab-domU.cfg name=test1
Using config file "crab-domU.cfg".
Started domain test1
#

xm list only returns Domain-0 :-(

Will try a "normal" 2.6.16-rc1 kernel compile now.
