I'm fairly new to the Xen capabilities added to Solaris.
In trying to get a Fedora Core 8 guest up under Nevada 83,
I built a 64-bit Fedora Xen kernel over on a Fedora Linux
machine, using the latest Xen 3.2.0 sources. It nicely built
a Fedora "vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen" kernel.
When I took that over to a Solaris Nevada 83 machine to run,
it failed, but the sole output from "xm start" was
# xm create fedora.fc8.64.xen3.cfg -c
Using config file "./fedora.fc8.64.xen3.cfg".
Error:
#
which wasn't too helpful. /var/log/xen/xend.log was a little more
helpful:

Is the problem that I should be building against some earlier
version of Xen? If I move from Solaris Nevada 83 to Nevada 85, that's
Xen 3.1.2 as nearly as I can tell, but the sources from xen.org
are 3.1.3. Will the tarballs from the same page on xen.org
(http://www.xen.org/download/dl_31tarballs.html) work under Nevada 85?
Any wisdom would be appreciated.
