Re: Move from Fedora 8 dom0s to F12/F13 dom0s with Xen 4.0.x questions

With 2.6.32.13 RH's PV guests (F13,RHL6 Beta tested) do detect NAT interface
and can smoothly installed via virt-manager ( virt-install).
However, Ubuntu Lucid Official xenified installer is still failing with NAT and requires
old style network bridging, OSOL 134 behaves same way.

So, installed Xen 4.0 via MY's src.rpm on top F13 i had
to set up manually "br0" for PV Guests, HVM seems to be OK with NAT ( or br0 no matter)
# chkconfig NetworkManager off
# chkconfig network on
Reboot
VNC console doesn't get launched for virt-installs of PV guests , referencing "br0".
Virt-install should run in "nographics" mode with VNC setup at DomU for Fedoras,CentOS guests.

I might did something wrong, but at the moment "Xen 4.0 / Virt-manager&Virt-install" regression vs F12 is taken place.

I had to disable Xen bridging and setup bridge manually to be able to work with PV
guests . In other words all xen bridged networking has to be commented out on F13
and at the same time PV guest cannot obtain IP via virbr0
It doesn't happen on F12.

Libvirt 0.7.7 and all related stuff (virsh,virt-manager,virt-install) seem to work fine
at Xen 4.0 Dom0 ( pvops 2.6.31.13) on top of F13. Even HVM install now could be performed via virt-manager.

Auto detecting Xen Hypervisor and several attempts suggesting  KVM answered
negative make strong impression. I thought it would  ask  me to install KVM
every time at virt-manager start.

[root@FedoraSRV ~]# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.7.7
Using library: libvir 0.7.7
Using API: Xen 3.0.1
Running hypervisor: Xen 4.0.0

kernel starting from a base F12/F13 system install. If someone can point out
where to find different parts I would be grateful and would be willing to
consolidate them into a single blob if that doesn't already exist.

Responding both questions (for F12) :-

What i am not sure about is libvirt,virtinst,... behavior when working with Xen 4.0 on F13
