No luck, I already tried it dozens of times with different options, always from a clean source tree (i.e. freshly untarred and then patched, so there is no debian/ directory). The problem seems to be that once Xen is enabled the bzImage target doesn't work (and neither does zImage when using the --zimage option), but this target is called by make-kpkg. I also tried using the --arch=xen option (it was mentioned on the Xen mailing list IIRC), but this results in some "unary operator expected" messages, similar to those in bug #446879 (which is closed). I tried setting --arch and --subarch to different values, IIRC this solved some problems with Xen kernels some time ago. Well, it doesn't anymore :) Manoj, should I file a bug report for this or is there something else I can try first?
