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 Fedora 9 Guest on Centos 5 Fails
Kenneth Tanzer had trouble[1] installing a Fedora 9 paravirtualized guest on a CentOs 5 host. Eventually the install hung on installing openoffice.org-writer2latex. David Hláčik reported[2] a kernel panic during the same scenario. He stated it was due to the Fedora 9 kernel-xen having newer features which the CentOs dom0 did not support. However, Mark McLoughlin said[3] RHEL5/CentOS Xen is expected to be able to run pv_ops kernels, and a bug should be filed if this isn't the case.
