Of course :-)
However I'm running it on the F15 that I have installed on the Trim
Slice currently, so perhaps there is something missing in that kernel.
Without any gdb/strace/etc in the rootfs it's a bit hard to tell ...
I'll try rpm directly, that's a good idea.
Direct installation with 'rpm -i --oldpackage' was ok, and I got an
initramfs which at least looks like it's the right size.
Hopefully I will be able to finish an F17 installation and that will
let me start on building virt packages ...
Rich.
