Hi all,

Is it possible to run older Fedora installation in KVM [in Fedora 8]?
I currently have FC6 installed and want to do a fresh install of F8 on a separate partition. Will KVM (or any other virtualization software) allow me to use my old FC6 without rebooting?

Probably:-)

When RHEL5 was in beta, I was multibooting FC6 beta, RHEL5 beta, SLES10 and openSUSE 10 (or so).

I had at least one of them booting at least one of the others with Xen, using paravirtualisation, but networking wasn't. I had to hand-configure it.


Note that you probably should pass physical /dev/sda1 (a partition) as /dev/sda1 (a partition). Passing a partition as a block device will, I'm sure, work but somebody's going to get confused.
