|
| === Post Release Quirks ===
| | For each release I begin by gathering all the info on features and updates I can, and place it on the following pages before moving it to the public [[Docs/Beats/Virtualization | release notes beat]] page. |
| ==== F11 ====
| |
| ==== F10 ====
| |
| ===== Installing F10 DomU on F8 Dom0 =====
| |
| On a F8 dom0. Installing F9 domU pulls kernel from releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/xen/vmlinuz this does not exist on F10 and thus creation fails. The version of {{package|python-virtinst}} on F8 does not know the kernel path changed. Try this test version and give it some positive karma if it works for you.

| FWN#152]]. The {{package|virt-manager}} GUI doesn't have the knobs in the UI yet to

| enable [http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio virtio] drivers. THe {{package|libvirt}} framework underneath does support it, so it can be done by hand. Here's how.

| * Dump the libvirt XML <code>virsh dumpxml winxp > winxp-before.xml</code>, and change the network settings. To the <code><interface></code> block add <code><model type='virtio'/></code> like this:
