[Xen-users] Upgrade Xen up to 4.0.1 on openSUSE 11.3 and broken VFB
After upgrade via
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/openSUSE11.3/openSUSE_11.3/src/xen-4.0.1_21326_01-1.1.src.rpm
with any "kotd" or 2.6.34.4-2.2-xen
VFB gets broken . It worked with original Xen 4.0, no matter of some
additional patching to support ZFS 24 has been done and 4.0 src.rpm has been
rebuilt to reinstall 4.0
In particular, virt-install fails to install PV DomU in "vnc" mode.
