You'll need to install mercurial, gcc, make and python (I think those are the only dependencies for the hypervisor itself, hopefully any errors due to missing tools will be fairly straightforward) and then: $ hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg $ cd xen-4.0-testing.hg $ make -C xen # Add -j<N> as desired. Then copy xen/xen.gz to /boot/xen-4.0-testing.gz (or whatever name you prefer) and update your bootloader (update-grub should do it?). To rebuild with debugging enabled, which would be useful if the above doesn't result in a successful boot: $ make -C xen clean $ make -C xen debug=y # Add -j<N> as desired. If 4.0-testing doesn't work then doing the same thing with http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg would also be informative. Thanks!
