[...] Not on my system at work. We installed a 32 bit hvm FC6 on a physical disk via virt-manager, and it worked fine under x86_64 dom0 (also FC6). I did manage to screw it up somehow trying to get the kernel updated, but it was working great before that :-).
Seems I did not explain correctly what I meant. With what you do, HVM Installs take place exactly not into partitions you defined from the outside, but into a block devices, and the hvm system then does full partitioning inside this. What I mean what fedora kernels have problems with is when pointing the disk config directly onto a partition created from outside the domU. An example: In your setup you probably have a disk config line like this; disk=[ 'phy:/dev/hdb1,hda,w'] What I mean is a setup that look like this: disk = [ 'phy:/dev/hdb1,hda1,w'] where I create the ext3 filesystem from the dom0. These are mostly used with paravirtual systems, because on hvm you just use isos. But as I already said, these things can be handled by making a special initrd... Still, a Debian guest won't work, but works with no problem with a Kernel from xensource. Henning -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
