It seems I got little attention with my original post. The f8 64bit image hangs when starting X. Prior to that the visual 'wait' circle keeps running around irregularily at a lot than normal speed.
I observed the same on multi core AMD running RHEL 4, which was cured with RHEL 5. So no I am happy on that multi-core workstation.
But this new server I was trying to set up had definite problems with the -21 xen kernel. It runs flawlessly with the f8 release kernel (-23).
For testing, where should I pull down a newer xen-kernel that would run with a full 64 bit f8 install? I would be happy to be a guinea pig (as long as I can revert) using this system if I could be pointed to repositories and forum where I could contribute..
thanks in advance, George

So I wonder if this is supported or not. Another Fedora 8 x86_64 installation on an Intel Core 2 Duo seems to run flawlessly, except it is running on a laptop, and not meant for server use.
Attached are smolt output.
See original post.
I would be grateful for any input, this was meant to be a system where multiple services should run (several 64bit F8's) serving dns, web and mail, and replace at least two current lumps of hardware..
