--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2005-777 2005-08-26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : xen Version : 2 Release : 20050823 Summary : Xen is a virtual machine monitor Description : This package contains the Xen hypervisor and Xen tools, needed to run virtual machines on x86 systems, together with the kernel-xen* packages. Information on how to use Xen can be found at the Xen project pages.

Virtualisation can be used to run multiple versions or multiple Linux distributions on one system, or to test untrusted applications in a sandboxed environment. Note that the Xen technology is still in development, and this RPM has received extremely little testing. Don't be surprised if this RPM eats your data, drinks your coffee or makes fun of you in front of your friends.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

Upgrade to a newer version of the upstream xen-unstable development tree. Note that this version is incompatible with earlier xenolinux kernels since the hypervisor changed, but that should not be an issue since Xenolinux did not work in recent FC4 update kernels anyway.

Note that you should use kernel 2.6.12-1.1435 or newer with this version of Xen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Aug 23 2005 Rik van Riel riel@redhat.com 2-20050823 - upgrade to today's Xen snapshot

* Mon Aug 15 2005 Rik van Riel riel@redhat.com 2-20050726 - upgrade to a known-working newer Xen, now that execshield works again

* Mon May 30 2005 Rik van Riel riel@redhat.com 2-20050530 - create /var/lib/xen/xen-db/migrate directory so "xm save" works (#158895)
