I'm sorry I was too busy to test these until they made "updates" proper.
However, having upgraded now to the new xen and libvirt packages, it still
doesn't work, and reverting to 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xen0 does _not_ fix the
problem. I now have a machine which can't boot any of its slices.
I will test more xen and libvirt packages if they can be made available.
I've got about 24 hours before I'll need to chicken out and either find
the old packages on a stale mirror somewhere, or restore from tape.
