[Julien TOUCHE <julien.touche@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

i'm trying to build a xen guest on fedora core (Fedora Core release 3.92
(Pre-FC4)). i have installed xen with yum + yum update (following
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-xen/) but after
rebooting on xen0, i failed to create one guest:

# xm create mon1 -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/mon1".
