[Fedora-xen] Boot errors

[Chris Jones]

Thank you both for your response.

That's probably the bug. I was hoping to find more answers here as after I
found that bug report.

@M.A Young
I saw that fix but wasn't sure how to apply it. I'm not really sure how to
use the special builds people mention.


Do either of you know a stable platform to run Xen on? I tried Xen Cloud
Platform but found the templates limiting. I wouldn't mind going back to
Xen Clout Platform if I could figure out how to run config files for
installation instead of templates. I mainly want to use the hypervisor for
standing up test servers and desktop environments.
