Support for F10 domU on RHEL5.2 dom0
Jon Stanley noticed[1] that a RHEL 5.2 dom0 was unable to
install a current Fedora 10 Rawhide domU.
Mark McLoughlin explained[2] that the
"older virt-install doesn't know to look in the 'images-xen' stanza
in the '.treeinfo' file to determine which images to use". Patches are being
backported to RHEL 5.3 for this[3]. A further issue[4] is a lack of bzimage
support in the libxc of RHEL.

Michael Young asked[5] about a timeline for these patches and expressed concern that there could be "a period of time where there won't be any supported Redhat or Fedora platform to run Xen guests, and of course the lack of current support in RHEL is reducing the testing that Fedora 10 xen is getting."
