Hiya,
I'd like to install RHEL4 inside a FC5 or FC6 Dom0 to do some Squid development and regression testing on. Has anyone done this? Any pointers to what I should be looking at doing?

You will find some good documentation @ http://people.redhat.com/~riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO
If you do not have a processor with the VT extension, you can always use qemu to install RHEL4 in FV.
AFAIK, it's no longer possible to use a FV RHEL4 image which has been created with the latest version of QEMU. Reason is, that QEMU now uses Copy-on-Write disk images.
Well, QEMU doesn't use any particular type of image by default - that's entirely up to whomever creates the disk image. QEMU has about 6 different kinds of images it is able to use.
You can trivially convert between disk image formats using QEMU's own tool set, eg
qemu-img convert -f qcow source.img -O raw dest.img
will convert from 'qcow' format to 'raw' - the latter being the format Xen wants.
Ah. That's the trick. :)
Thanks, Thorsten
