I can't seem to get Fedora 8 beta 2 to install as a guest in Centos 5.  The original beta 2 and rawhide initrd images just freezes during the initial boot.  I am able to install other Centos 5 guests with no problem.  Is it possible that the version of Xen (xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5) running on the host just doesn't jive right with the newer initrd image?  I have successfully installed Beta 2 on an Optiplex 745 with no problems and only ran into a few issues upgrading a Dell XPS 400 running Fedora 7; I just can't seem to get a guest machine going.  I have include the results below I see when trying to install a guest.

Thanks
Ian
