Fedora xen - Feb 2007 - fc6-xen install issues

Just done an out-of-the-box installation of FC6, with
''virtualization''
selected. However, I was surprised to find that I''ve only got the Xen 
kernel in /boot, and only the Xen option in grub.conf.

Is this expected? Surely there should also be an unmodified kernel? I''m
tempted to re-install without virtualization, and to do a manual Xen 
install, to make sure that I have a fall-back kernel.

I''ve also got very slow performance on my networked X terminal (this
box
is headless; I use WinAxe on a PC). In fact, it''s so slow that WinAxe
is
pretty much unusable. Any ideas what''s going on here? Is anyone getting
reasonable performance on Exceed/WinAxe/VNC/whatever?

Thanks -

Evan

Yes, when you select ''virtualization'' you''ll only get
the xen-ified
kernel, no bare metal. You can easily just do ''yum install
kernel''
after your initial install if you want a bare-metal fallback kernel.
