I need 2.6.4 as I need to make Xen operate with some other drivers that are not compatible with 2.6.9

Has anybody tried using Xen 2.0.1 on 2.6.4

You will need to backport our sparse tree to 2.6.4. Not a trivial task and tedious to keep uptodate. I think the first 2.6 version we checked into bk was based on 2.6.7 (July/August 2004). Of course that version won't run anymore on current xen and it's also missing a lot of bug fixes. I think that at the most you could review some of the "upgrade to linux 2.6.x" checkins to see what was changed when upgrading to a newer Linux version...
