Xen Not Displayed in Boot Menu
by sorabh hamirwasia
Hi,
I have installed "Xen" on Fedora16 host using "yum install xen" command and
it has been installed properly. I can see the changes in /etc/grub2.cfg
file too. But when I reboot then the entry for Xen is not listed in the
boot menu. On further analyzing I found that in /etc/grub.conf there is no
entry related to Xen. Do we need to modify grub.conf manually ? If yes then
how to do that. ?
Please help me with this.

MA Young, could this be back-ported in the F17 and F16. I belive
Micahel Petullo setup a bug for that?

Xen/Linux 3.4.2 performance
by W. Michael Petullo
We have seen a significant reduction in performance in our research DomU
OS kernel when running on Fedora 16 with Linux 3.4.2 vs. 3.3.7. We run
a series of benchmarks which are DomU-kernel-space-CPU-heavy; many of
these run 10x slower when using the 3.4.2 Linux kernel as Dom0.
This is a little surprising---we've been tracking the Fedora kernels for
a long time with no problem like this. Did anyone else notice any changes?

It sounds like it could make sense, the only problem being (sorry) I'm
not sure I know or can find out what the "amazon ec2 day" is or is
supposed to be... :-)
Did you mean something like proposing an EC2 TestDay?
Thanks and Regards,
Dario
