[Fedora-xen] FC5 updated Xen RPMs in updates-testing

[Daniel P. Berrange]

Hi Folks,

After working through the many many BZ tickets & mailing list threads on
the subject of broken FC5 kernel-xen / xen recently, I've finally got new
packages available in updates-testing for wider testing. Design to work
against the latest 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 kernels is:

   xen-3.0.3-1.fc5   (fixes the xen userland in general)
   kudzu-1.2.34.5-1  (ensure that agetty is started on xen serial console)


The two related update notices are on fedora-test-list:

  http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-October/msg01060.html
  http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-October/msg01056.html

Note, with these updates you can now use the full graphical framebuffer
in para-virt guests too. Just add 'vnc=1' in the guest config. As with FC6
it listens on 127.0.0.1 by default, which can be changed with a config 
param  vnclisten=0.0.0.0, although if doing that its wise to also add 
the vncpassword='XYZ' parameter too. The 'vncunused=1' parameter will make
it auto-pick the first unused VNC display, rather than hardcoding the
port to be 5900+domid.

Regards,
Dan.
