Description of problem: The latest version of Xen now requires the presence of a 'pae' or 'vmx'/'svm'capable processor (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6#head- 712c355cbc215744acb585bb1e26bd781f0376ee). Enabling 'Virtualization' during installation on a platform without this support results in a unusable system (kernel panic at first re-boot). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always (?) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt fresh install with 'Virtualization' enabled (anaconda) onto a non- compliant platform 2.perform first reboot 3. Actual results: non-operational system Expected results: (?) A working system without a virtualization (Xen) enabled kernel Additional info: There are several options for this: 1.) Virtualization support should be disabled on non-complaint processors 2.) Issue a warning message when Virtualization selected on non-complaint porcessors 3.) Also install non-virtualized kernel on non-compliant platforms (including grub/lilo support)

This is a side effect of a late change to FC6 that broke the saftey net I had in place to keep this from happening. It's been fixed in CVS and won't be a problem in the future.
