Dario,

Yes, 16 is what I meant to type (oops).  I did a minimal install, and
without updating, did a yum install xen, tweaked around with grub.cfg and
the network-scripts a little and boom hypervisor and dom0 up and running,
with VT-d support.

Tried the same thing with 17 again and could not get the dom0 kernel to
boot successfully.

I'm going to buy a serial card for this machine so I can do the serial
console on Xen and get more information. But so far, so good!
