Re: [Xen-users] Cannot creat Xen virtual machine with Yast in Suse 10

["Kevin Blackwell" <akblackwel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well,

For starters, this one works.

http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3

A side not though, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but in my process of getting Xen to run, I determined this step which I think many writers of the documentation take for granted. 

If your running a reiser fs, then the direction are good to go, but if your main filesystem is ext2, ext2, etc... apply the directions whatever filesystem your running. To the best of my knowledge, and attempting to get that damn reiser module to load, if your running filesystem A, it's not going to load filesystem B module. At least that was the problem I ran into. Once I figured that out, I was good to go.
