Yep - I already tried that with the following results: apic acpi 1 1 VM hangs with aforementioned apic error 0 1 VM crashes 1 0 VM crashes 0 0 VM hangs with aforementioned apic error I can post the dmesg info for the crash cases if you think that would be helpful. I may try grabbing vncclient from somewhere and seeing if I can get the F5 hack to work on a fresh reinstall. I think Xen will be quite handy once the kinks are worked out and applaud the Fedora team for attempting to make it easy and including it in FC6.
