Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2005-888 Vital: KVM Virtualization Patch

fedora
Calendar Grey August 29, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Enhance your Fedora Core 4 installation by incorporating the newest Xen package to boost your virtualization performance.
Updated package.

Summary

This package contains the Xen hypervisor and Xen tools, needed to

run virtual machines on x86 systems, together with the kernel-xen*

packages. Information on how to use Xen can be found at the Xen

project pages.

Virtualisation can be used to run multiple versions or multiple

Linux distributions on one system, or to test untrusted applications

in a sandboxed environment. Note that the Xen technology is still

in development, and this RPM has received extremely little testing.

Don't be surprised if this RPM eats your data, drinks your coffee

or makes fun of you in front of your friends.

Upgrade to a newer version of the upstream xen-unstable

development tree. Note that this version is incompatible

with earlier xenolinux kernels since the hypervisor changed,

but that should not be an issue since Xenolinux did not work

in recent FC4 update kernels anyway.

Note that you should use kernel 2.6.12-1.1435 or newer with

this version of Xen.

- upgrade to today's Xen snapshot

- upgrade to a known-working newer Xen, now that execshield works again

* Mon May 30 2005 Rik van Riel 2-20050530

- create /var/lib/xen/xen-db/migrate directory so "xm save" works (#158895)
