Virt-mem Tools 0.2.8 Released
Richard W.M. Jones announced[1] the release of virt-mem 0.2.8. Virt-mem provides a set of dom0 or host tools which leverage libvirt to facilitate the inspection of domU or guest kernel information. Commands include 'virt-uname', 'virt-ps', and 'virt-dmesg' for example.
This latest version has been reworked to have direct access to basically any kernel structure. This will allow a more rapid fullfillment of outstanding feature requests such as memory usage information, network interface listings, etc.

Installing FC9 Guest on Centos 5 Fails
Kenneth Tanzer [1] "tried three times to install Fedora Core 9 as a PV guest on a Centos 5 host. Every time, it gets most of the way through the install, and then hangs on installing openoffice.org-writer2latex-0.5-2.fc9.i386"
David Hláčik [2] "i tried same scenario as you several times without success. Unfortunately it stops because of kernel panic. XEN Kernel on Fedora 9 is newer and has some features which dom0 - CentOs with latest[sic] xen kernel does not understand. "
Tom Horsley [3] "problems with lots of installs using an older Xen and file: devices for virtual disks. I would constantly see the sort of stuff you describe with the VM going funny in the head during heavy I/O "
