Compiling Xen from sources: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora Old version of building Xen from source on Fedora: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Xen_4_Tutorial Which has a lot of old information.. basicly you can use vanilla upstream Linux kernel these days, all the required Xen dom0 patches are in upstream Linux kernel. Also obviously you shouldn''t use something as old as Xen 4.0.1, the latest stable Xen versions are Xen 4.2.3 and Xen 4.3.0. You could also check the Xen src.rpms from recent Fedora repos. -- Pasi> Regards > Galla

And you''ll find Xen 4.3.0 in Fedora 20, which is already available as Beta (will be released in November, IIRC). Otherwise, F19 has 4.2.x.
