I''ve got a couple of FC4 domU''s running on a FC5 dom0. You need the kernel image on the host (dom0) and the guest (domU), and obviously entered in the xen config file. My domU''s were actually built on a FC4 dom0 and then transferred across once my FC5 dom0 was built so I don''t know if the build process is what''s causing your problem. Matt.

I think I need to move the FC4 kernel image to the host (dom0) and then I will try the standard FC4 xen config (no pyboot). The new FC5 script is good because it lets you install live into a virtual machine rather than make an image and hope that it starts!. Robert PS are your images file based or partitions?
