i kind of doubt it, it looks more like xc isn't available (xenconsole?) 
(thanks anyway, colin :-) )

btw: @tv, any reason why you're using xend? the xl toolchain doesn't require 
xend at all.

i was planning on removing xm and xend support.

perhaps closer should be to find out what libvirtd isn't working?

of course, i did ask to maintain this, but it isn't easy for me to actually 
test it :-(. i had planned to test this at work, but other work has made me 
unable to actually run it for a while...

anyway, i had to patch some stuff about xenconsole, but maybe i should take a 
closer look into what other patches fedora has. well, i should at least try to 
find some hardware i can use for this.

also, i had planned on dropping internal qemu, but it upstream told me to wait 
for the next major version.

if anyone can help me out with xen, i'd appreciate it.


@tv:
 - did you manually make another boot entry in grub with the hypervisor as 
kernel and the kernel as module and the initrd as another module? (that is 
necessary)
 - could you check if the xl command does work?
 - could you possibly give logs for libvirtd (and maybe do: 'systemctl list-
units' ?)

thanks a bunch
