The RPM version number here is a little misleading. The xen-3.0.2-5.FC5 RPM is actually based off a very recent pre-release of the 3.0.3 tree (changeset 11540). The kernel-xen0-2.6.18-1.20.fc5 is also based off a pre-release of the 3.0.3 tree (the same changeset 11540) so they match exactly. I think, however, I may have just found the problem - it looks like the /dev/xen/evtchn device is being created with the wrong major-minor numbers, causing xenstored to fail, and thus breaking xend. The reason it /appeared/ to work ok for some people is that xenstored did not get restarted in %post section of the xen RPM. Going to investigate some more to confirm Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
