Reposted from fedora-list…I did not even know fedora-xen existed until a coworker pointed it out, it's not listed on Fedora Portal.
I have not seen any answers for this on fedora-list.

Subject: Anyone using VT-x (vmx, hvm, ...)?
I've installed FC5 32 and 64 bit versions on a VT-x capable Xeon server. I can install paravirtualized guests using /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py per the quickstart guide with no problems. But if I try to install a fully virtualized FC5 or Windows XP guest using the VT-x (vmx) capability and an ISO install image, xm shows that a guest started, but I can never connect to a console or vnc session to see what it is doing or go through the OS install. Even the xenguest-install.py script fails at the point of trying to connect the console.
The error is "xenconsole: Could not read from tty store: No such file or directory".
I'm at a loss to know how to proceed or debug this. Any help would be appreciated. Is anyone even using FC5 on VT-x systems? The lists seem to be very quiet on this topic.
Thanks,
Jim Reuter
