"FYI, I have just installed a Fedora 12 x86_64 guest on a Fedora 11 x86_64
KVM host". "Once installed, I installed the Xen dom0 kernel from http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/
re-configured grub, and successfully rebooted into a Xen Dom0, and was
able to create paravirt guests successfully. Most of the libvirt-TCK test
suite passed, and the only bugs look trivial to solve in libvirt's Xen
driver."
 
"So for that environment at least, the Dom0 kernels are looking pretty
good when used with F12 and the libvirt Xen driver is still functioning
reasonably well."

Fedora Virtualization List

This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.

Virt Status Report

Justin Forbes posted[1] a Fedora virtualization status report. Justin pointed out F13 bugs[2] now include Important and Pony classifications in addition to Blocker and Target.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
