Description John Poelstra 2008-03-27 16:23:36 UTC
Description of problem:

Running latest rawhide (2008-03-27) yum groupinstall virtulization does not
install xen kernel.  I believe in previous releases it was installed as part of
the dependency resolution process.

Is this an expected change in behaviour?  Note, xen-libs is still being installed.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2008-03-27 16:27:30 UTC
This is not a bug. There is not Xen dom0 support in Fedora 9, so there is no
kernel-xen to install.

Comment 2 John Poelstra 2008-03-27 16:46:04 UTC
Then is this a bug?

Comment 3 John Poelstra 2008-03-27 16:46:43 UTC
I installed it BTW and it doesn't boot :)

Comment 4 Daniel Berrangé 2008-03-27 16:50:29 UTC
kernel-xen only supports DomU guests. It is non-functional on Dom0, hence not
booting. Dom0 support may be added as an update post-GA. cf these features for
F9 and F10
