I have just installed CentOS 5 on x86_64 VT-enabled platform (Xeon 5310). I have used its built-in Xen to install to guest domains:
  • Fully virtualized x86_64 FC6 from an ISO image
  • Para-virtualized CentOS 4.5 from an http repository

I've not done enough testing yet to conclude whether it's stable. I have a wierd problem with the network interfaces of the two guest domains: they cannot be set up neither by dhcp, nor statically, while the Dom0 eth0/1 work just fine. I am trying to troubleshoot the problem...

Does anyone have experience with the Xen that's built in to RHEL5?
Does it have most of the feature set of the open source version xen 3.04
or is it an older version?  Has it proved to be stable?

For a new Xen system would you recommend installing RHEL4 (or clones)
and then downloading the xen rpms and tarballs from the Xen site,
or picking RHEL5 and using the Xen that comes with that?

Also, has anyone tried, under either of those modes,
to have an x86_64 host OS and i686-based virtual clients?
Are there any docs online of how to do that?

Thanks
