[Bug 282858] Re: Ubuntu-xen-desktop does not install a dom0 kernel

[Todd Deshane]

Official support for Xen on Ubuntu/Fedora isn't likely to be offered
until Xen dom0 support gets into mainline linux.

For updates on that effort and other alternatives for dom0 kernels to
try see:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

So, it is a bug, but the current workaround takes some manual work.
There are some very good howtos that can be found online that explain in
detail how to get various kernels working on various versions of Ubuntu.

The reason that the package is installable is that it does include the
Xen hyperviosor and tools. A warning to the users about the package not
including a dom0 kernel is a good idea.

Hope that helps.
