Yes, that is one reason why I am still tracking Fedora 12, as it is considerably easier than the other options. The other reason is it is (up until now at least) where the main development is. When development shifts to 2.6.36 (which is the current plan) I will probably start building rawhide kernels. > Next, I tried to use Michael's latest Fedora 12 kernel on Fedora > 14.

Yes, now that I try it I get the error failed to mount /sys/fs/cgroup: No such file or directory It looks like this /sys mount was introduced in 2.6.33. > Once I booted the system, I found that xend would not start because it did > not find what it expected in /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:03.2/config: > > [...] > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xen/util/pci.py", line 1050, in detect_dev_info > pos = self.find_cap_offset(PCI_CAP_ID_EXP) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xen/util/pci.py", line 933, in find_cap_offset > id = ord(os.read(fd, 1)) > TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found I don't see that - though it may depend on your hardware or which xen version you are using. xend works for me, though one of my keyboards doesn't work, it seems due to some apparently IRQ related problem.
