Upstream Xen has support for ia64 integrated in the main releases. ia64 is 
not a supported architecture in Fedora on bare metal or Xen, so we don't 
build packages / kernels for it.

Fedora:  i686, x86_64, ppc
   RHEL:  i686, x86_64, ppc, ia64, s390

This pretty much reflects that very few people in Fedora world have access
to ia64 or s390 hardware so the extra work involved in maintaining it for
Fedora is just not viable.

Regards,
Dan.

Why Fedora have Fedora-IA64-list?

I am of course talking complete & utter rubbish. I don't know what I was
thinking when i wrote my last mail. ia64 wes support in Fedora 6 Xen, but
Juan seems to have disabled the ia64 builds in rawhide at the moment.
The Fedora 7 / rawhide Xen is rather unstable at the moment - we're trying
to jump over 3.0.4 and go straight to 3.0.5 - hopefully a kernel will be
ready with 3.0.5 + 2.6.21  in the very near future. Once it works on x86,
we can make sure it also works on ia64.

No - there's no upstream work on that - I was listing the general set of
archs for the distro as a whole - Xen only currnetly works on x86/ia64, 
although PPC is arriving soon in 3.0.5 upstream

What about AMD64?  Were you "lumping" that in with x86?
