I not familiar with all the details of what you're trying to build. But glancing at the way you are doing things, just a couple quick observations. If you want to check for a fixed string in some text, you might want to consider using "fgrep" instead of "grep", since
"grep" or "egrep" will tend to interpret the string your seeking as various types of regular expressions. You might want to issue
the command:
man grep
at look at the relationship between the various forms of grep. Also, just because you have the binary files associated with
your kernel, doesn't mean you have the source files for it, what you might find in /usr/src/kernels if you had the source
for your particular kernel. It appears you might have the source for the "xen" kernel form, not the "PAE" form of the
kernel. You might need to get the source for the PAE form of the kernel.

Make doesn't work. Again!
