Hi,
today I've upgraded my SL5 x86 box. This update looks like this in the logs:
Dec 04 14:49:41 Installed: kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Dec 04 14:49:41 Updated: ipw3945-firmware.noarch 1.14.2-1.sl5
Dec 04 14:49:42 Updated: kernel-headers.i386 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Dec 04 14:49:51 Installed: kernel.i686 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Dec 04 14:49:59 Installed: kernel-xen.i686 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Then I removed package kernel (not kernel-xen) as this box is really
supposed to act as Xen dom0 and I don't want to check grub.conf after
each upgrade of (to us unimportant) kernel package. I've also changed
grub.conf to boot new Xen and new kernel.
After a reboot, xend didn't come up. In the xend debug log, I see this
Python backtrace:
[2007-12-04 16:20:25 xend 3351] ERROR (SrvDaemon:297) Exception starting
xend ((13, 'Permission denied'))
Traceback (most recent call last):

139, in xen_domains
domlist = xc.domain_getinfo()
Error: (13, 'Permission denied')
In addition, there's a recommendation to rebuild Xen user-space tools in
the xend log.
Reverting to older records (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5xen) in grub.conf makes
everything work again, that's why I assume that package "xen" should be
rebuilt to match kernel-xen's patchlevel.
I'd use Bugzilla for this kind of issues but I wasn't able to find out
how to register there :).
Cheers,
