Hmm - I may look into this... So, I use Cobbler/KOAN to provision my VMs
and bare metal... I'll need to investigate a little further to do this
manually :)

I am running CentOS 5.4 (both i386 and x86_64 - different physical
machines)... I've been able to get Fedora 11 running as a Xen guest - no

lists /boot as ext3 - but for whatever reason Fedora 12 insists on making
/boot ext4.
I do have a bare metal machine running Fedora 12, so I thought "let me try
to put together a kickstart file denoting /boot as ext3." I ran
system-config-kickstart and about the only difference I saw in syntax was
--fstype="ext3" versus what I was doing which is --fstype ext3
So, I changed my kickstart file to reflect --fstype="ext3" - the result is
still the same: Fedora 12 insists /boot be ext4. As a result, when I run
xm create <fedora vm name>, it fails stating "Error creating domain: Boot
loader didn't return any data!"
Please note, this is the same kickstart file I use to install CentOS 5.4
(and in the past 5.3) guests - as well as Fedora 11 guests.
Has anyone managed to get Fedora 12 running as a Xen guest???
Fedora 12 installer has a bug, it always creates /boot as ext4 even when
the kickstart script says ext3.
This is easy to overcome if you can do manual installation; the normal
installer (non-kickstart) works, and lets you create ext3 /boot
partition.
I'm running F12 Xen PV domUs installed this way, manually.
