Hello!

I'm using Fedora 10 on my Xen pv_ops testing box.

I rebuilt Xen 3.3.1-9 packages from F11/rawhide for Fedora 10 and installed them.

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xen/3.3.1/9.fc11/src/xen-3.3.1-9.fc11.src.rpm

xen-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm
xen-debuginfo-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm
xen-devel-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm
xen-hypervisor-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm
xen-libs-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm
xen-runtime-3.3.1-9.fc10.i386.rpm

I also built custom 2.6.29-rc7 pv_ops dom0 kernel, which seems to boot OK
for me.

xend starts OK, and I can run 'xm info', 'xm list' etc.

But now I'm having problems using virt-install and/or virt-manager to
install new domains.

[root at dom0test ~]# virt-install -n vm01 -r 512 --vcpus=1 -f /dev/vg00/vm01 --vnc -p -l
"ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os"

ERROR    Unsupported virtualization type 'xen' 

Has Xen support been dropped from virt-install, or is this just some bug?
