2. However, Xen kernel is not set as the default boot option. Modify /boot/
grub/grub.conf and change the value default=1 to default=0. This
will change the default kernel used for booting to the Xen kernel instead
of the default Fedora kernel. You will need to be the root or a user with
administrative privileges in order to do this.
3. Reboot to start using this kernel.
4. Once the machine is up and running, check the version of the running kernel
to ensure that you are running the Xen kernel.
5. The management of domains is done by xend??”the Xen Controller daemon.
It can be started and stopped using the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xend script and
is started up by Fedora Core 6 automatically on boot. Check to make sure
that xend is running by executing the following command to search the list of
processes running on the system:
pidof xend
