Hello guys
I am running Fedora 9 x86_64 in conjunction with a softraid
installation. The system is patched to newest state possible (2. Aug)
If I install the kernel-xen.x86_64 package (version 2.6.25.3-2.fc9) and
try to boot into it the system simply resets itself. I cant see any
error message on the screen nor within /var/log/{messages,boot.log}
My processor is an Intel Q9450 which supports VT. I have tried to enable
and disable this technology without any change to the problem.
How can I go further? What would you suggest to debug this problem? Any
help on this odd issue is really appreciated.

It is generally recommended to use CentOS (or another distro) as the dom0. Fedora 8 is the last release that had dom0 support. Fedora 10 might get dom0 support, probably not necessarily at release time though, but right around the time it hits mainline linux. see: http://www.nabble.com/kernel-xen-is-dead-td18637077.html http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/54274 Cheers, Todd -- Todd Deshane http://todddeshane.net check out our book: http://runningxen.com
