I'm just running through these instructions as a reference for my Xen3 tests on rawhide and all is going pretty well.
I have a test domain (but can't alter the number of VCPUs for some reason but that's another story) and I'm wondering. Rather than the pretty ugly system of either :
Make an image file. Mount. yum --installroot=blah groupinstall x y z Configure.
Or the much better system of /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py,
Is there a simple way to fake a netboot so I can use my existing kickstart scripts and build OS instances the same way I would with normal physical hardware? It would be nice to have my hypervisor instance running dhcp + apache and do localhost kickstart network installs.
(I know this has been asked times and times before.)
but... What's the current status of Xen/x86_64? Second, considering the fact that rawhide/x86_64 still doesn't have kernel-xen and the pending release of test3, what are the chances of Xen/x86_64 making it's way into FC5? Any chance it'll make it into test3? (I assume that past test3, only bug fixes will be introduced until FC5-release)
