One can easily destroy the x86_64 Fedora Core 4 install. The used installer was: http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/latest/xen-3.0-x86_32-fc4.bin.tar Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Install it on a x86_64 Fedora Core 4 install Actual Results: The Fedora Core 4's package database now contains a few wrong i386 packages Expected Results: Installer should have at least warned me that the architecture is incorrect Additional info: It would be very useful to have x86_64 support

We can't really fix packages that are not created by Red Hat or even part of Fedora. But integrated Xen packages are a feature of FC5, so this should be fixed there --- we don't yet have the kernel built for rawhide for x86_64, but that is planned for FC5test3.
