name: webserver
ram: 256
disk image size: 3
location: /mnt/vmware/websever.img
install location: http://localhost/pub/fedora/fc5
or nfs:192.168.0.99:/var/ftp/pub/fedora/fc5

then it breaks.


Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-09 18:45:38 UTC
FC5 guest on FC6 host cannot work for x86 due to the PAE switch

Comment 4 Stephen Tweedie 2006-10-09 19:30:09 UTC
Note that if you install an FC5 guest (eg. using an FC5 dom0) and then manually
add the FC5 "kernel-xen" RPM in the guest, you can then boot that kernel from an
FC6 dom0.  But there is no PAE-compatible kernel on the FC5 install media, so a
paravirt fresh install of FC5 on an FC6 host is not possible.
