Sorry - yes - you put it much more eloquently ;) From my understanding regarding domU and F10 - 12 is exactly as you have stated. I assumed 13 should be the same and I can import/use the same... I did forget to mention I am using CentOS 5.4 as the host OS...
My hardware at home is all top of the line circa 2000 - thus my using Xen ;) Wasn't happy with KVM/qemu (mostly because the VMs ran badly)...

My understanding was that with f10 the domU component was implemented within the paravirt-opts interface in the mainline kernel, but that the dom0 had been abandoned. As far as I know you should still be able to run f13 guests on a rhel5 hypervisor. But of course, I don't use xen, I am a kvm man.

So, Fedora 12 didn't have a kernel-xen package either. Apparently with F10 - 12 it was all built in for guest VMs. I assumed 13 would be built the same.

Excerpts from Scot Floess's message of Tue May 04 09:16:02 -0400 2010:
I was able to import Fedora 13 beta with no errors (I believe)...
I tried to use KOAN to install a VM under Xen - but I see an error about not having the appropriate kernel... Unfortunately, at the moment I cannot reach out to my home network to give the actual error - nor the version of Cobbler I am using (its 2.02 I think)...
Do I need to do anything special when I import Fedora 13? I don't recall there being anything special for prior versions - it just found the Xen kernel it needed and installed for me...
I don't believe that Fedora 13 contains a xen kernel anymore. I don't see a kernel-xen package on my f13 system. So I must assume that only kvm is supported now?
