Note, the following list of issues were compiled while testing on RHEL 5.4. There are no known issues with a RHEL 5.5 host. Other host platforms and/or Xen packages may have varying results.Β  Please test :-)

* RHEL specific: pygrub does not support ext4, however rawhide defaults to ext4. Therefore this must be manually changed to ext3 (at least for /boot) during the installation, or an appropriate kickstart can be used.

* RHEL specific on machines with GB pages: add 'nogbpages' to the guest kernel command-line for guests with >2GB memory, see [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502826 bz502826]

If the above workarounds are done, or RHEL 5.5 is used, then these known issues will still be present.
* Installing from the F14 compose for 32b PV guests works, but then the initial boot will fail due to the plymouth issue.
* Installing a FV guest from the F13 boot.iso or attempting to boot the F13 Virt-Test LiveCD will fail (see [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570496 bz570496]). Workaround this by rewriting the iso with 'nohalt 1' added to the top of the isolinux.cfg file.
* Installing a FV guest will appear to have hung since the graphics in anaconda's virtual terminal 'F6' do not work. Watch the progress on virtual terminal 'F1' to see that the installation is progressing.
