Hi, I am working at Stanford on a research project and I have installed Fedora Core 10. Can someone help me on what are the steps to configure Xen on FC10. Thanks
Hi I tried this and was told by many people in this site that Fedora no longer supports Kernel-Xen or Dom0 I had to use Centos for the Xen base and Fedora as a client.

Dear Samir, As I understand, the simple answer is ''no, there is no easy way to run Xen on Fedora10.'' At least the current 2.6.27 kernel for Fedora10 cannot run Dom0. If you really want to run Xen, one option is RHEL5.3, or you have to go back to earlier version of FC. My 2 cents.

Can someone help me on what are the steps to configure Xen on FC10. >http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 Fedora 8 is currently the latest Fedora release to include dom0 capable kernel. Xen utils/libraries/hypervisor is included in Fedora 9 and 10, and upcoming 11, but dom0 capable kernel is missing until dom0 support is added/included into upstream (Linus) kernel. Your options are: - Use Fedora 8, or RHEL/CentOS 5.3 as your dom0 - Build custom dom0 kernel for your Fedora 10 (xenlinux 2.6.18 or pv_ops dom0) - Use some of the pre-built pv_ops dom0 capable kernels, note they are experimental! - Wait until dom0 capable kernel is back in Fedora (Fedora 12 or so..) See fedora-xen mailinglist archives for more information. -- Pasi
