I should point out, this is all actually in rawhide right now.... kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.8.fc7 + xen-3.1.0-0.rc7.2.fc7 And since rawhide is in deep freeze now it is in pretty good shape. This is the rc7 pre-release, and we'll update to the GA xen release very shortly after Fedora 7 is released. There's no major changes missing there really. > We're going to apply these same patches to the FC6 kernel-xen which should > also resolve the stability issues seen on the FC6 2.6.20 builds.
