It has not been removed, but .. let me go in details. You can boot an RHEL7 guest as PV, but there are issues: 1). The FB driver has been unset (CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND) that means you can still do a text-console (in theory). 2). The Xorg fb seems to suffer from some bug - which is why the Xen FB has be turned off. 3). There are also some systemd and udev things missing. I understand that folks are interested in getting this fixed, but I was wondering what the protocol is for getting said patches in the respective RPMS (xorg-some-server, udev, systemd, kernel)? Naturally this needs to be fixed upstream first, but once that has been completed it should be fairly easy to backport it. Oh, and the Xen support has not been removed - as in, the kernel can easily boot as an PVHVM guest. It is just that the PV part had been. > > > > Ant > > > >> On May 23, 2014, at 8:31 AM, "Kai Schaetzl" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> > >> Karanbir Singh wrote on Fri, 23 May 2014 13:19:45 +0100: > >> > >>> so far, in rhel7rc its pretty clear that Xen instances ( domUs ) are > >>> not going to boot with the RHEL7rc kernel. > >> > >> What a pity.
