I've noticed that my /etc/grub.conf file contains kernel pairs that are identical except that one ends in "fc6" and the other in "fc6xen". What does the "xen" indicate? What's the difference between the two types and is there any way of telling which type works best on a machine? Thanks for the help! --Jerry
The Xen kernel is for virtualization. If you want to run guest OS versions on your computer, the xen version is the choice to use.
I use the regular kernel version for two reasons. The xen kernel caused my computer to go into reboot cycles before it did anything. The other reason is I do not run virtual machines.
