I tried installing this as a paravirt guest (SL5 host), both manually and 
with kickstart. It worked well, with just a few minor issues:

  o I always get the ordinary kernel in addition to the xenU one.
    TUVEL4U5 behaves differently. Maybe that kernel gets pulled in
    by the ipw3945 stuff?

  o If I select the OpenAFS client, I get the module for the ordinary
    kernel, but not for the XenU one.

None of those is a serious problem for me. But SL used to do better w.r.t. 
the AFS client packages. I'd love to volunteer for fixing this, but 
simply can't right now. If noone else does, maybe this should at least be 
mentioned in the release notes. NB I think SL5 has the same "problem".

After installing kernel-module-openafs-`uname -r` by hand, the client 
seems to work fine in Xen guests.

Another point we should probably mention in the release notes is that 
starting with this version, the AFS client does not honour the setuid 
bit even for files from the local cell by default, unlike all builds for 
SL <= 4.4.

<brokenrecord> Any ETA for the amd64 build? </brokenrecord>

Thanks,
