That is incorrect. With Fedora Core 6 the recommendation is definitely
to have SELinux enabled when running Xen. The main thing you have to
be careful of is where you keep your filesystem images. The SELinux
policy expects them in /var/lib/xen/images. Same is true of ISO images
if you're using them to install fully virt guests.
And I didn't see any explanation why or on how to make xen work with
selinux enabled.
If you have disk images in the expected location, then Xen should 'just work'
with SELinux enabled.
That would be wonderful, but I believe that the directory
/var/lib/xen/images needs to be created with some selinux attributes,
which are not obvious to me. I can probably dig a list of non-working
ones from my notes, though.
Does it mean it isn't working, is it so simple that there's no need to
document it, or theorethically possible but too hard to get it
working?
The howto you found is wrong :-(
I've added a note about neccessary SELinux disk image directory to the
official Fedora Xen guide.

I just looked at it, it doesn't seem to have the magic mkdir
incantation, and on my installs, one of which I just redid yesterday,
whatever tooth fairy is supposed to create the directory didn't.
Regards,
Dan.
