So, there's a meta-point here: we currently 'require' Beta releases to boot as guests on Xen hosts: "The release must boot successfully as a virtual guest in a situation where the virtual host is running a supported Xen implementation" I really don't have much knowledge of Xen and haven't followed this discussion closely, but do any currently-known bugs prevent this? If so, please flag them up so they can be considered as Beta blockers...thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
