[Fedora-xen] Fedora 16 [3.1.0-7.fc16.i686] and Xen [4.1.2] problem

[Rajeshwar Singh Janwar]

Hi All,

I have installed Fedora 16.

[root@RSJ boot]# uname -a
Linux RSJ 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 1 21:00:16 UTC 2011 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
[root@RSJ boot]#

Then:
1. yum intsall xen

xen got install successfully but it could not update grub entry with xen.

2. [root@RSJ boot]# xl info
libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running?
failed to stat /var/run/xenstored.pid: No such file or directory
cannot init xl context
[root@RSJ boot]#

3. Then i manually updated the grub [entry = /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen], now
grub.conf:

After reboot and booting with XEN kernel, it show:
elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the generic
loader or Linux images
******************************************
Panic on CPU0
Could not set up DOM0 guest OS
*** ***************************************

Is linux kernel  3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 comes with XEN kernel modules compiled ?
What is going wrong, any pointers ?
