Fedora xen - May 2006 - RE: yum update breaks xen

There is a bug n the xen package that gets downloaded with yum.  Just
revert back to the xen package in the rpm dir in the fc5 distro and it
will work.  The key to finding out if it''s fixed is to see if
xen_install.py is present on the system.

Subject: [Fedora-xen] yum update breaks xen

Hey guys, I had a perfectly working xen install on my FC5 box running
2.6.16-1.2080_FC5. But there were some serious IO bottlenecks, so I
figured maybe the new kernel release would help out.... quite the
opposite. Now, I cannot start any domUs. Here''s a snippet from my
xend.log when I try to start the xend service:

Any ideas?

I don''t think I understand.... xen_install.py is missing on both my
newly
upgraded, non-working server, as well as my still-working, non-upgraded server.

Anyway, thanks to another reply I found this is a known issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190899

I guess I''d better to learn to check bugzilla before I upgrade.
