[Fedora-xen] FC5 -- with new "development" Xen kernels/xend

   Just for kicks I tried the kernel-xen, xen and dependencies from the 
'development' yum repository.  When trying to create the XenU's it gave 
me a "Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')".

   With FC5 there was a xen0 kernel for the Xen0 and a xenU kernel that 
was put in each XenU.   I believe that for the development branch (and 
FC6) that something different is being done, with the Xen0 using a 
'kernel-xen' package: kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2647.fc6  .  I'm gathering 
that the XenU kernels are also different now (like what happened with 
the FC4 to FC5 switch), meaning I can't continue to use the xenU kernels 
I currently have installed.


   When I mentioned this issue on Bugzilla (In a different context of 
waiting for a new FC5 kernel with a specific patch 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199944 ), Herbert 
Xu mentioned I need to have XenU kernels with the PAE patch.

   Does anyone know which Fedora kernels to be putting in the XenU's if 
I'm wanting to use the new "development" xen and kernel-xen?
