TCL as Xen Dom0?

Where are there so many squashfs patches? ??? I assume that the ones in the 3.6 folder are the most recent. Is the "try-harder" patch necessary, or just the most recent squashfs-2011XXXX.patch?
On another note, I think Xen requires a 64-bit system (which I have), but TC seems to be finding only ~3.3GB of RAM (when in fact I have 4GB), which seems like it's acting like a 32-bit system. I was under the impression that TC is (or includes) 64-bit by default?
curaga:
Only the -warning and -try-harder patches are needed for a recent version, as the dated squashfs ones are backports to our kernel.
TC is 32-bit by default, but there is a 64-bit kernel available.

So both the -warning and -try-harder patches are needed?

Hmmm. I noticed that there is a microcore64.gz, but there is no tinycore64.gz ... Also, there is a bzImage64, but when I tried editing boot options to use bzImage64 instead of bzImage, some error or other popped up =\

Are you using the 64-bit kernel (i.e. 'bzImage64') together with the 64-bit initrd for MC (i.e. 'microcore64.gz')?
You are correct that there is no "tinycore64.{iso|gz}" to be found for downloading, but after booting into a 64-bit MC system you can "create" one by just running
tce-load -wi Xorg-7.5 Xprogs Xlibs wbar flwm_topside
(plus executing startx). And if you use persistence you won't have to do it again. You could also remaster your very own "tinycore64.gz". Just note that the 'Xvesa' X server is not compatible with 64-bit, hence the use of 'Xorg' instead.
