Installing Xen on FC5-x86_64

[mickeyboy]

In the Fedora5 wiki, installing xen, it says to do a yum install kernel-xen0
yum comes back and says "nothing to do" , what Repo is kernel-xen0 in?

Did you do a: "yum list available xen" or xen0?

With list on "xen" I got this: xen.i386 3.0.1-4 core

Got nothing on xen0 so go figure? But then I'm not running x64 architecture so I'm sure it is different for you, but as long as you have core, updates and extras turned on, the only other ones that I would try are livna and use the same search methods.

Opps, I misread part of your thread, do a (yum list available kernel-xen0*) then as wildcards are useable in the yum statement.

I finally got it installed. Thanks.
Running kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 x86_64.
I'm having trouble getting xend to start, /sbin/service xend start , and I don't get any errors, if I do a /usr/sbin/xm list , and I get;

Error: Error connecting to xend: Connection refused. Is xend running?

Can someone give me an Ideal as to what is going on.
If i do a ps aux I don't see a xend running, but I do have xenwatch , and xenbus is running

All,

I have exactly the same issue.
I added xen after the initial installation of FC5
yum install xen-kernel0
as described in the user guide.
Could somenone who successfuly installed XEN describe in a few words how he proceeded?

Thanks in advance,
Vincent

I updated to kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2080 and now i get a error;
Kernel panic- not syncing: PCI-DMA: Random memory would be DMAed.
I wonder what the problem will be in the next kernel release?
