Xen users - Jul 2011 - Xen (Dom0) and KVM simultaneously on same PC - is it possible?

Hello,

Is it possible to run Xen (Dom0) and KVM on the same host PC? If yes, is it 
possible to run them simultaneously?

The reason that I ask is because I presently use KVM but would like to try out 
Xen. However, I don''t want my KVM setup being messed up while playing
with
Xen.

I''m using Fedora15 and the 3.0.0 kernel from mainline.

Thank you in advance.

--Vinu.

You can''t run them at the same time (kvm won''t work/load in
xen dom0),
but you can choose which one you want at boot time from grub.

Hello Pasi and Benjamin.

Thank you both, for answering my question. 

In the knowledge that Xen will not mess up my KVM configuration, I will play 
with Xen over the weekend.

Regards,
Vinu.
