Hi,
I am trying to get Xen working properly on rawhide / F29 Beta.
I had one instillation on F29 that worked straight away with :-
sudo yum groupinstall 'Virtualization' sudo yum install xen
I cannot seem to reproduce this now though :(
And am getting the following :-
~~~
Loading xen 4.11.0
error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:258:file
`/EFI/fedora/x86_64-efi/module2.mod' not found.
error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:258:file

I have another SSD now with Xen booting correctly but unable toaccess xen
from virt-manager but am getting access to it via :-
virsh -c xen:///system
which is showing Domain-0 running
On boot up its still giving errors :-
~~~
Loading Xen 4.11.0 ...
error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:258:file `/grub2/i386-pc/module2.mod'
not found.

So it look like module2.mod is still not loading but I was getting this on
the fully working version I lost earlier IIRC.
I am hoping that this error report is useful and might give a clue as to
what I need to do next to get Xen running on my Intel Z270 hardware.
I am sort of thinking the reson Xen is not working on this last machine is
a missing rpm ?
Okay it was really simple, I just did - File > Add Connection - and Xen is
there now !
I can work as a tester for Xen for F29 Beta if this is needed as I
would
like to get this release working properly for Xen.
I have fast machines and multiple SSD's so can quite quickly do reinstalls
and mods for testing if that helps.
I will follow up the above errors the module/module2 and
multiboot/multiboot2 are insmod's in the grub config so I am wondering if
module.mod is required but not crucial and missing or whether its been made
redundant and is still in the grub config ? It would be good to get to the
bottom of this. Also I am wondering with the EFI errors whether its to do
with the UEFI configuration on Fedora install whether that is selected or
not ?

Aaron
