Practically 100% guarnetteed. The libvirt version in RHEL-5.1 is only tested to support upto Xen 3.1.x series. Xen is notorious for breaking its ABI & API across releases & I know for a fact there are multiple things broken between 3.1.x and 3.2.x Xen which impacts libvirt. So if you upgrade RHEL5 to Xen 3.2 you almost certainly will need to update to the latest libvirt release too Dan. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
