I have an Athlon64 system with FC4-x86_64 running. For several

can I do that?
I tried to use Xen (the 3.0-unstable-x86_64) but it did not work (could
not find my root partition after the xen kernel was loaded, probably due
to missing SATA support in the kernel). Neither could I compile Xen-2.7
myself (gcc4 complained about a struct with unkown length, gcc32 issued
a warning which is treated as an error in by the xen Makefiles).
So I created an ext3 filesystem in an ordinary file and mounted it. Then
I thought I could install FC3_i386 into that file so that I later can
chroot into it. But since the installer (autorun) of FC3_i386 needs to
be root I am afraid that it messes up my currently runnning system.
Do you have some links, help or additional information for me?
OT question:
From where did you find Xen 3.0 x86-64 tools (and kernel) for FC4?
AFAIK Xen is only supported (both host and guest) under i386.
