The libvirt + tool stack is working fine as your described. Running qemu VMs works as advertised for x86 emulation. I had noticed the Xen userland components missing as well and it makes sense now.

Any additional comments on the state of kernel-level Xen support from the PPC contingent? --Spencer > > Dan, -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
