And as of kernel-2.6.38.2-4.mga1 there has been some cleanups and addons for

There is now a kernel-xen-pvops that also should work as dom0.
Now this is mostly upstream kenel.org code so its not as fully
featured as the old kernel-xen. You can see the features listed here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps.
There is one exception: our 2.6.38 kernel has xen-netback backend driver
added.
So those of you that have been using xen, please test atleast the following:
- check that kernel-server still works as a xen guest
- try to use kernel-xen-pvops as dom0 and see how it works
(you can also try to use kernel-xen-pvops as a normal xen guest)
Doesn't that mean that when running in XEN, the installer shouldn't
pick kernel-server
instead of kernel-desktop? (since we've no dom0 support in the later)
Or even kernel-xen-pvps if there's no HW support for virtualisation?
If 'running in Xen' means 'running as guest', you don't need any special
kernel for hardware virtualisation, and just a kernel with Xen support
for paravirtualisation. The dom0 support is only needed for the xen
host. Which means the installer kernel itself should have xen support to
be runnable in any context.
By the way, kernel-xen-pvops isn't needed anymore, and could be safely
dropped AFAIK.
