Upgrade from FC6->FC8 adds XEN which breaks VMWare

ericcarlson · 12-06-2007, 03:18 AM

VMware player and workstation were installed in the FC6 install. When the FC8 upgrade was performed, xen was added. When now trying the VMWare I'm told I must disable xen first.

How can I do this?
Should I be doing it? Can I run virtual XP machines under xen the same way I have been doing with vmware? Thanks.

Boot to the non-xen kernel (it would be a good idea to make this the default choice).

VMware will work with a xen kernel but why anyone would use a virtual OS in a virtual OS is beyond me.

Yes it is possible to run Windows XP as a xen virtual system. Use google to find how to on this as i have not done so myself
