Most likely the missing support for initramfs. The first 8 or 9 attempts I compile *without* initramfs support, and the same thing happened. Anyways, I'm currently reverting to a snapshot before kernel compilation, and am trying to compile xen-sources >>>>> Please note, I do use the following kernel: >>>>> sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.34-r4 >>>>> >>>>> Which kernel are you using? >>>>> >>>> >>>> hardened-sources-2.6.36-r9 IIRC >>>> >>>> Hmmmm... there are *lots* of options in your config that I don't see in >>>> mine. >>> >>> Can you add a list of the ones you are missing? >>> >> >> Um... lots.

Anyways, thanks for guiding me :) (Will resume attempts tomorrow at 10:00) Rgds, -- Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ Visit my Blog: http://pepoluan.posterous.com
