It should still work on F13 and F14 (though not on rawhide because it
isn't compatible with systemd). What does your grub.conf look like? The
should be something along the lines of
Title something
kernel /path/xen.gz
module /path/vmlinuz..... kernel-options
module initramfs....
Sorry for the delay in this - I've rehashed my Xen system with lvm so
that I can dual boot it between the working CentOS config and the
experiments with F14 - that way things aren't down until I reinstall
everything! :)
When I boot the x86_64 kernel from
http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/, the xen hypervisor loads, then I
just get a black screen. The monitor goes into power savings and all
seems dead. I can't see any disk activity at all - however pressing
C-A-D does reboot the machine almost instantly.
My grub.conf entry:
title Fedora (2.6.32.26-174.2.xendom0.fc12.x86_64)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /xen.gz cpufreq=xen dom0_mem=512M loglvl=all
guest_loglvl=all dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_vcpus_pin
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.26-174.2.xendom0.fc12.x86_64 ro
root=/dev/mapper/RAID1-xenhost2 rd_LVM_LV=RAID1/xenhost2

module /initrd-2.6.32.26-174.2.xendom0.fc12.x86_64.img
The working F14 kernel entry is:
title Fedora (2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 ro

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet
initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64.img
For reference, here is the entry for my working CentOS install:
title CentOS
root (hd1,0)
kernel /xen.gz-3.4.3 cpufreq=xen dom0_mem=512M loglvl=all
guest_loglvl=all dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_vcpus_pin
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen ro
root=/dev/mapper/RAID1-xenhost
module /initrd-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen.img
