On my Fedora 31, I only have 2 xen rpms: xen-licenses-4.12.2-3.fc31.x86_64 xen-libs-4.12.2-3.fc31.x86_64 If you don't need xen specifically, you shouldn't use a xen kernel. Everything is using KVM nowadays On Mon, Jun 1, 2020 at 9:17 AM Lloyd Kvam wrote: > On Sun, 2020-05-31 at 20:10 -0400,

Sorry I was so incoherent. When booting with the XEN kernel libvrtd segfaults. gnome-abrt is actually pretty nice, but I am way out of touch with debugging this sort of issue. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1842318 I have filed a bug report. My best guess is that I have some
