Note that if your FC6 kernel is not xenified, you need to run it as a fully virtualized DomU, not a paravirtualized DomU, and that'll require a CPU that supports full virtualization (look for the "svm" [AMD] or "vt" [Intel] flags in the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Working with Linux is like wrestling with a worthy opponent. - - Working with Windows is like picking on an annoyed child with a - - loaded handgun. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
