Hi.
We are now doing a full testing for Xen of FC6 Test3.
As a part of the full testing, we have already completed a basic
functional testing.
The testing includes boot vmx guests, installing fc6 test3 ia32/ia32e
into vmx, and installing win 2000/xp/2003 into vmx.
The test box is an Intel SDV with a presler processor.
Following are the test results, and more test results will be available
soon.

Here are some issues I found in the basic functional testing:
1. Cannot boot fc6 test3 ia32 smp guest, xen0 reboot
fc6 test3 ia32 guest can be booted up with 1 vcpu, but if boot it as a
smp guest with enabling 2 vcpus and apic=1 in config file, xen0 will
reboot.

2. Cannot reboot/poweroff vmx guests.
After reboot vmx guest,a white window will be popped up.
After poweroff, vmx guest will not be destroyed.

3. VGA issues of win2k and fc6 test3 IA32e guests
I cannot install FC6 test3 IA32e guest with graphic mode.

VGA of win2k vmx guest is unusable.

4. Installer of Fc6 test3 ia32e doesn't make initrd
After installed fc6 ia32e native and vmx, I could not find initrd. So to
boot FC6 Test3 native or vmx, I have to create initrd by myself.

Here is detailed result about the testing:
1. Install windows xp sp2/2000/2003 on ia32-pae/ia32e hv        PASS
2. Install FC6-test3 ia32 with graphical mode               PASS
3. Install FC6-test3 ia32e with graphical mode              FAIL
4. Install FC6-test3 ia32e with text mode                   PASS
5. Boot FC5 UP IA32/IA32e VMX guests                        PASS
6. Boot FC6 Test3 IA32 UP VMX guest                           PASS
7. Boot FC6 Test3 IA32 SMP VMX guest                           FAIL
(Xen0 reboot)
8. Boot FC6 Test3e IA32 UP VMX guest                           FAIL (No
initrd)
9. Boot FC6 Test3e IA32 SMP VMX guest                           FAIL (No
initrd)
