Updated to today's kernel on host, 2.6.17-1.2566.fc6xen, no make sure everything
is in sync. No difference in results.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-08-22 21:08:17 UTC
There have been a few things breaking guest installs recently, but the
libvirt/xeninst interactions should all be happy now.

There's something now with kernels oopsing on boot, but that's a separate issue
