Description Karl Eichwalder 2005-09-15 14:06:09 UTC 
On a default installation (10.0 RC3), if you select "Software"->"Virtual Machine
Installation (XEN)", YaST displays the following error message:

"For installing a XEN virtual machine the system\n"
"must be running XEN Linux kernel.\n"
"XEN installation cannot be started.\n"

Please, be more friendly to new Xen(sic!) users.  Make this a "normal" pop-up to
the packager and let the user select required Xen packages directly.

More friendly? ;)
You need to run a Xen-enabled kernel to actually use it.
But I will reassign it as an enhancement.
Comment 2 Ladislav Slezák 2005-09-19 07:04:00 UTC 
Yes, the yast module can be enhanced - it could install XEN selection and
configure the bootloader.

Ladislav here is another comment from the dupe: 
 
P.S.S. This is incorrect grammar and mechanics: "For installing a XEN virtual 
machine the system must be running XEN Linux Kernel. XEN installation cannot 
be started." It should read: "For installing a XEN virtual machine, the system 
must be running the XEN Linux Kernel. XEN installation cannot be started."
Comment 5 Ladislav Slezák 2005-11-21 17:50:17 UTC 
The message has been fixed in the HEAD. Reassigning the enhancement request...
Comment 7 Ladislav Slezák 2005-12-16 14:25:35 UTC 
Implemented in yast2-vm-2.13.6 - yast installs required packages and creates Xen Grub section.
