Building portable Xen images is challenging unless you plan to run them fully virtualized (HVM or Hardware mode). I really haven't perfected the xen configuration yet. The main problem being that each distribution has a slightly different Xen setup. I am working on that today comparing Ubuntu 7.10 with Fedora 7. Whether the xen patched kernel can be used in the fully virtuallized guest, I don't know for sure, but I suspect the answer is yes. Hmmm, maybe.
