where is xenU kernel?

[Darren Birkett]

Apologies if this is a very basic question, but I'm just trying xen out.  I
have used the install script from xensource to download and install xen-3
for FC4.  I have booted into dom0 using the kernel
vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_fc4, and that's all fine.  When I go to create a
guest, and edit the config file, I don't appear to have a xenU kernel to
point to in the config file.  From what I understood, there should be a
separate unpriviledged kernel to use for the guests, so where is it?  If I
try and do a "yum install kernel-xenU" it installs a xenU kernel for xen-2
(or so xen-debug.log tells me if I try and use it in the config file for
creating a new domain).
I may just be getting myself confused, so any help appreciated.

Cheers
Darren

  If you're trying out, I would suggest to follow the guidelines and
base your tests on the most recent beta version of FC5, test3. The
instructions are available at:
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5
There have been a lot of changes from the early FC4 and testing in
the old version is likely to be probematic and not significant as a 
trial.

I had already looked at fc5t2 a few days ago (didn't realise t3 was already
out) and attempted an anaconda install of a guest with no luck.  I decided
to go back to a more stable OS (FC4) with xen3, and try the more manual
method of installing/configuring because I wanted to learn as much about the
inner workings of xen as possible.
looking at my previous fc5t2 install I'm still slightly confused about the
lack of a xenU kernel.  There is an FC5hypervisor kernel which dom0 uses to
boot, but I still don't see the domU kernel that I would use for guests.  Am
I missing something?

The kernel for guests is named kernel-xen-guest.
There is a command line alternative

/usr/sbin/*xen*guest-install.py which you can use for installing 
guests.
