Hello,

Does this mean, that even if we have just one normal kernel (not xen, not
PAE), we need to add the [images-xen] part, with paths to the normal kernel?
So we end up with one vmlinuz, and initrd.img, but we will have both
[images-$arch] and [images-xen] sections in .treeinfo, both pointing to
vmlinuz and initrd.img.

That is correct.  The [images-xen] section is read by virt-install on previous
RHEL releases when you do an install off media, so it's really just a
convenience thing for customers installing RHEL-6 inside a Xen guest on RHEL-5
systems.

Do I understand this correctly? This is for x86 only, or for everything?

x86[_64] only.

Revert original attempt and come up with a new patch.  Get rid of the

"no",
set it to "yes" and then use it conditionally in the mk-images.$ARCH
script.

I did a scratch build of anaconda with these two patches and had
dgregor
do a test tree compose.  Trees are generated correctly and .treeinfo
contains the [images-xen] section.

virt-install on older RHEL releases looks for [images-xen] if you are
trying to install from media, so even though we don't have a special
Xen kernel package anymore, we still need to provide this section in
the .treeinfo file.
