The following page has been changed by MarkMcLoughlin: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Virtualization?action=diff&rev2=63&rev1=62 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization in Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] includes major changes, and new features, that continue to support the Xen and KVM platforms. === Kernel Integration Improvements === + - Previously, the Xen kernel was created by forward-porting Xen bits from the 2.6.18 kernel into the current Fedora kernel. This task was arduous and labor intensive, and resulted in the Xen kernel being several releases behind the bare-metal kernel. The inclusion of paravirt ops now makes this process unnecessary. Once paravirt ops is merged upstream, Xen will no longer require a separate kernel. + The Xen kernel is now based on the paravirt ops implementation from the upstream kernel.

Xen Dom0 support will be added back in Fedora 10.
