Xen users - Feb 2007 - Fedora on SUSE via Xen - paravirtualized

Folks, 

Just wondering if there are any experiences with installing Fedora as a
DomU on a SUSE Dom0 in paravirtualized mode. If there''s a link to a
previous discussion or doc, that''d be great.

Best I could find was a discussion of having to recompile the kernel
under SUSE first

Thanks,
Mike

Here is my configuration:

# general
name    = "fedora";
memory  = 512;
cpu     = 3;

# install
#kernel = "/root/fedora6/vmlinuz"
#ramdisk        = "/root/fedora6/initrd.img"
#extra  = "vnc=1
method=http://eskarina.ber.suse.de/dist/net/Core6-x86_64/"

# booting
builder = "linux";
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub";
#bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py"
#bootargs = "--entry
xvda1:/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen,/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img"

# virtual harddisk
disk = [ ''phy:sys/fedora,xvda,w'' ];
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro";

# virtual network
vif = [ ''mac=aa:00:a1:c5:ac:0d'' ];
dhcp = "dhcp";

kernel and ramdisk needed for installation are in images/xen of the
installation media.  pygrub isn''t in the suse packages unfortunaly, you
can use domUloader instead (see commented lines), drawback is you have
to specify the exact kernel name in the config file ...

HTH,
  Gerd
