Description Jos Vos 2006-09-24 15:27:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
When choosing virtualization support in a rhel5beta1 client install, there is no
Xen hypervisor and Xen-enabled kernel installed *but* grub contains (as default
entry) the non-existing Xen-enabled kernel!

/etc/grub.conf:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

Comment 1 Jos Vos 2006-09-24 16:10:09 UTC 
Additional comment:

/etc/sysconfig/kernel contains DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-xen, while kernel-xen is not
 installed!
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-25 15:28:36 UTC 
Can you attach /var/log/anaconda* and /root/install.log?
