Thank you, Philippe-A. Lemelin I am doing a newer: 1. kernel from kernel.org (3.10.63), also the e1000e kernel module for that. 2. libvirt rolling in the last patch in this tree: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v0.10.2-maint 3. newer xen-4.2.5 with all released XSAs 108 (including 116 .. but not 115 as it is not released) and that python-virtinstall I have already modified the the source code and I am building, I'll post when they are reading for testing.

I'll try to get the latest Xen 4.2.5-38 and libvirt 0.10.2.8-9 rpms tested soon aswell. -- Pasi I upgraded my current xen4centos test box with all the applicable packages in the link above and all my Xen VMs still start and run correctly.
