Yes, it is very likely the kernel configuration.  More specifically,  
a different kernel build config (or a different kernel version) will  
result in different offsets within the various data structures that  
are used within XenAccess.  You can figure out what these new offsets  
are for the new kernel, and then you should be all set :-)  Of  
course, I'm not suggesting that's trivial, but it's doable.

An automated method for doing this would be very nice, of course.   
And that's actually on my todo list right now, but it will likely be  
a while before I get to it.

Cheers,
bryan
