Hello,
I was testing Fedora 16 (rc2) Xen host, with included Xen 4.1.1 rpms
and Linux 3.1.0 dom0 kernel. Fedora 16 PV domUs seem to work nicely.
I noticed a problem with Fedora 16 Xen HVM guests though.
The F16 guest kernel (Linux 3.1.0) fails with the qemu-dm emulated DVD-ROM
drive..
Full HVM guest kernel dmesg attached to this email.
See the end of this email for Xen cfgfile for the domain and some workarounds..
Important parts of the guest dmesg:

I'm using "xm create" to start the HVM guest.
I noticed I can workaround the problem with the following methods:
- Specify "xen_platform_pci=1" in the domain cfgfile. The emulated dvdrom drive
works then,
but there are other problems (nic doesn't work - the mac address is all empty
and the installer fails).
Guest dmesg from this case also attached to this email.
- Upgrade Xen hypervisor to 4.1.2 (rpms available in f16 updates-testing).
Emulated dvdrom works then with the original hvm domain cfgfile above.
guest kernel dmesg for this working method attached aswell.
The following guest kernel options didn't help with the dvdrom problem:
- libata.dma=0
- pci=nocrs
Is this a known problem? Any proper workarounds for Xen 4.1.1,
or should everyone upgrade to Xen 4.1.2 ?
