Fedora Virtualization Status Report
After a few weeks off, Mark McLoughlin reached back into the future and produced an exhaustive status report[1] covering all the developments in fedora Virtualization for the last month. Grab a bowl of popcorn and dig in!
Fedora Xen List
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-xen list.
Success with Experimental Fedora 10 pv_ops dom0
Users are continuing to build experimental kernels with pv_ops dom0[1] support.
Pasi Kärkkäinen
was happy to
report[2]
success getting a
"custom Xen pv_ops dom0 kernel working with
virt-install and/or
"I was able to run the following on Fedora 10 32bit PAE pv_ops dom0:"
- CentOS 5.3 32bit PAE PV domU
- Fedora 10 32bit PAE PV domU (using
virt-installand custom kickstart to force PAE kernel installation to avoid the anaconda BUG[3])
Pasi was successful by using:
- pv_ops dom0 kernel (2.6.29-rc8 or newer) "Compile with
CONFIG_HIGHPTE=nsince it seems to be broken still" 
libvirt- LVM volumes for domU disks (
tap:aiois not yet supported bypv_opsdom0 kernel)
