    +------------------------------------------------------+

4. Finish the installation
  
Actual results:
kernel-xen is installed (and boots by default)

Expected results:
kernel-xen is not installed

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2007-10-22 17:52:08 UTC

What does rpm -q --whatrequires kernel-xen show on the running system?

Comment 2 Aron Griffis 2007-10-22 18:56:43 UTC

# rpm -q --whatrequires kernel-xen
no package requires kernel-xen

Since reporting, I've tested on x86_64, happens there too; changing Hardware
from IA64 to All.

Comment 3 Aron Griffis 2007-10-22 19:04:11 UTC

Btw when following these steps, both kernel and kernel-xen are installed on the
system.  True on both ia64 and x86_64

Comment 5 Aron Griffis 2008-07-30 22:17:37 UTC

Problem seems to be resolved in RHEL5.2, suggest closing this bug
