I'm trying to get my xen-sources compiled and I'm having mixed results depending on which version I use. So far I haven't got any of the currently available (as of a week or so ago) xen-sources working through gentoo's portage.

When I try to make menuconfig for 2.6.18-xen-r12 I get:

Makefile:410: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop. 

When I try to use 2.6.34-xen-r3, the kernel boots but it gets caught on what I think is a USB issue, but I can't get the exact log as the booting never completes.

When I try to use 2.6.34-xen-r4, it seems to not work with my SCSI controller (unsure if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not) and in turn it can't find any disks.

When I try to make && make modules_install for version 2.6.38-xen it fails at:

So far as I can tell every version available to me fails to work, and I'm unsure why.

This is on some IBM x330's, and I'm having the same issue on a DL380 G3. I tried posting about this on the gentoo forums, and so far nobody has said anything on the matter.

I haven't been a Gentoo user in about 5 years, and I'm not sure exactly why you're getting those build errors. Have you tried just using Linux 3.0? Xen dom0 support has been upstreamed into mainline Linux since version 3.0, and you may have better luck compiling that kernel than the older ones you've been trying to compile.
