[Fedora-xen] Fedora 7 kernels

[Jason Solan]

I've had a lot of problems with Fedora 7 and XEN and I've read some
messages on this mailing list indicating the F7 kernel is more or less
broke with xen.
By problems I mean that 32 bit guests on 64 bit dom0 does not work at
all for me.  Neither paravirtualized (as was a main feature of xen 3.1)
or fully virtualized.

Combinations I've tried:
F7 x86_64 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU PV
F7 x86_64 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU HVM
RHEL 5 x86_64 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU HVM
RHEL 5.1 Beta x86_64 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU PV
RHEL 5.1 Beta x86_64 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU HVM
RHEL 5 x86 dom0 -> F7 x86 domU PV  -- Only one that works (32 on 32 PV)

I had read a while ago (June?) that a kernel update would be coming soon
to fix the 32 on 64 PV issue, however I've ran in several new kernels
and none seem to fix the issue.

I've also repeatedly tried to run a 32 bit HVM fedora 7 guest on 64 bit
machines and had that fail similar to this:

Is there any more work planned for Fedora 7 and xen, or should I just
wait until F8?  Or am I just doing something wrong and the problems I'm
having should be working on the current builds?
