What happens is /boot is always installing as ext4 - no matter what I set it to be in my kickstart file.

I use Cobbler/KOAN for my VM installs... What did you do to get F12 installed as a VM?

So, to be honest, I don't recall seeing that option in my BIOS - but I've
not looked either.  I installed the x86_64 version of F11 and it works
fine.

Again, this isn't really a big issue as this is all stuff on my home
network.  I was pleased just to be able to run F11 in some capacity as a
Xen guest :)

Now, if I could just get F12 to work ;)


What's the problem with F12? :)

Works for me, both as Xen PV domU and as dom0 (using custom dom0 kernel).

So, as it turns out, my issue seems to be running a CentOS 5.4 x86_64 host
and an i386 F11 VM.  I used another machine running CentOS 5.4 i386
host and was able to launch, no changes, the F11 i386 VM.

Is there any reason I should see the failure listed below?  I've not yet
tried to install F11 x86_64 as a VM on the CentOS 5.4 x86_64 host.


Hmm.. iirc F11 GA kernel has some xen-related bugs (at least NX and xsave).
Not sure if your crash is one of those though..

Did you try toggling the NX (No eXecute memory protection) setting in
BIOS?

There was workarounds for those in post RHEL 5.4 virttest kernels, so
could try those aswell..

Some bugzillas that might be related:

You could try updated post-5.4 Xen / dom0 kernel rpms from here:
