Fedora xen - Sep 2008 - kernel-xen-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64 don't boot

Hi,

I''ve just installed the kernel-xen-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64 on my FC9 for
experimenting with XEN.

Unfortunately when I boot from grub with this kernel (as a host system) the
system reboot after the message:
--- [snip] ---
XEN relinquishing vga console
--- [/snip] ---

I''ve found a previous email where was suggested to change the boot
parameters:
* add the noreboot
* remove the quiet
but even doing so, nothing has changed.

Can someone help me?

Thank you very much!!

Cheers

-- Marco

kernel-xen from FC9 does not provide Dom0 ("host") functionality.
Currently
there is no usable Xen Dom0 in Fedora (besides Fedora 8 where support will be 
dropped in a few months).

If you want to have a stable Xen Dom0, you should go for CentOS oder RHEL.
If you just want "virtualization", you should look at KVM which is the
upcoming "standard" virtualization for RHEL. Red Hat announced a few
days ago
that they think about dropping Xen completely when RHEL 5 is not supported any 
longer (2014).
