I have a couple of temporary builds of xen release candidates available for testing; xen-4.0.2-rc4 built for F14 at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3085546 and xen-4.1.1-rc1 built for F15 at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3086043
Also if you are interested in testing packages for RHEL6 see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3086043

I have built 4.0.2-rc6 for F14 which is (temporarily) at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3110390 and 4.1.1-rc2 for F15 which is (temporarily) at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3110497 these are supposedly the final release candidates before full releases in a week's time, but that could change.
If anyone doesn't know already, the upstream kernel tree (as of 3.0-rc1) has xen-blkback included which means you can now run xen which reasonable disk performance with native kernels (though there are currently issues with module-init-tools and kernel-3.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc16 is confused as to whether it was 3.0 or 3.0.0).

Looks like module-init-tools was addressed on 6/6, so that's promising.
I'm having some issues with 2.6.32.39-175.xendom0.fc13.x86_64 and disk partition detection (I need to run partprobe after boot to get, e.g. sdd1 to show up, sdd only is found), so I figured might as well try to move forward before moving back.
My base OS is Fedora 14. Which version of Xen should I have installed if I want to try upgrading to 3.0.0-rc5 via the koji build and get xen-blkback? Is it the same as you've been backporting for us (i.e. no changes needed)?
Thanks, -Bill
Xen 4.1.2 with pygrub gpt patches back ported installed on top of Ubuntu 11.10. Virt-install'ed F16 PV guest. After domain gets created VNC login screen shows up. Mouse should be kept always inside VNC screen. Otherwise , it will disappear.
Start F16 domU via virsh and connection via vncviewer gives working mouse pointer, which looks like "dot" in VNC session, but gets grabbed.

Did that exact line of arguments work with F15?
Why are you using '--nographics' without the 'serial text' argument?
Hangs
Does it work if you do not use '--nographics'?

Yes, works fine

Please, point to an exact syntax. It was never required before.
Does it work if you do not use '--nographics'?
Yes. --vnc works as earlier. No problems
Boris.
