I turned off gpg checks from /etc/yum.repos.d: GPG keys for Fedora 16 were missing under /etc/pki/...: bad soft links. I turned off Rawhide repository. I upgraded Fedora 16 from the command line. Then reboot. After that Fedora 16 welcome, add users started up graphically: works as it should. I could go back to modesetting from VESA by moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf away and changing /etc/default/grub's Kernel parameters: remove nomodeset. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg will rebuild grub2 configurations. Then basic Fedora 16 works. Marko -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
[Fedora-xen] Grubby fix isn't enough for Fedora 16: Fedora 16 uses Grub2
Hi I've experimented with a fresh Fedora 16, I've installed Fedora 16 from nightly CD. Fedora 16 uses Grub2, so grubby fix isn't enough for dom0. Grub2 has Xen Dom0 config script as /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen on Fedora 16. The script searches initrd-* files from /boot. It should search initramfs-* files too. Thus Dom0 will not be able to boot. I've written a bug report about that, maybe it is against Rawhide now, with a patch to apply. Another problem on Fedora 16 seems to be that while yum installs a new upgraded kernel, Xen Dom0 rows will not get generated. I don't know why. If /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen works okay, grub2 config can be easilly fixed afterwards by hand with grub2-mkconfig. I've learned to switch from Grub1 to Grub2 with BIOS boot (not EFI). One way is to move partitions down so that there is 1MB or more disk space outside of partitions, just at disk start. Switching to grub2 isn't easy. Better plan and prepare or start from an empty hard disk before switching to grub2: Fresh Fedora 16 install into an empty hard disk (without partitions) does it all for you (creates a BIOS boot partition, which is an alternative to 1MB outside partition space).
