If you are using xen on Fedora see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 In particular there are some pre-built kernels at http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/ You do need to edit your boot loader configuration to use the kernels under xen, you want something along the lines of title fedora xen (version) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz module /boot/vmlinuz.version standard_kernel_options module /boot/initrd.version.img Basically it should probably match your existing entries except for the additional xen line and kernel/initrd becoming module in the other lines.

Re: Upgrading to F10 without DVD
On Sun, 25 Jan 2009, Oliver Ruebenacker wrote: I burned a F10 Live CD, but then found out that you can not upgrade, only install. A live CD install essentially just takes a copy of the live CD image and installs it on a disk, so naturally you can't use that method to upgrade. But since this is only running anaconda behind the scenes it ought to be possible to run anaconda with different options to do an upgrade using network based repositories to supply the packages. It won't give you any advantages over the netinst.iso image, but it ought to work. preupgrade is probably easier though if you have enough free diskspace. You run preupgrade and it prepares the upgrade for you, downloading the relevant packages and building them into a mini-repository so that you can install them after a reboot. It helps though if you have something like 130M free on whatever partition contains /boot as some have had trouble with the alternative it uses if this space isn't free.

Is it generally impossible to make yum update on a live medium, or did it fail due to hardware problems? The liveCD is basically a read-only file system. On top of that you can ask for an overlay file on the USB stick when you install it to USB, otherwise I think you get a memory overlay and changes are written to the overlay rather than the original read-only image. You are probably getting the ext3 errors once the overlay space has been used up.

If packages A and B both depend on library L and if Rawhide has a newer version of L with a different soname major version (the number which indicates which versions of a library are binary-compatible with each other), then you cannot update package A without updating B, even if A and B are otherwise completely unrelated (because updating A drags in L which drags in the updated B because the newer L is no longer compatible with the old B - dependencies work both ways in this case). If L is a core system library, there can be a lot of packages like B. In this case the dependency is libdb-4.7.so.
