When UPDATEDEFAULT=yes the default boot selection in /boot/grub/menu.lst will be set to point to the newly installed kernel. If you are dual booting and want a different OS or a particular kernel to be the default then set UPDATEDEFAULT=no so that kernel updates will not change your boot selection.
Also, I wouldn't run Xen without PAE enabled. Even the Debian folk have stopped packaging it that way. It looks like Xen won't be running on that kind of machines any longer -- Colin Charles, http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
