David,

This is fantastic!!!

Our bootcd kernel also happens to be our PL production kernel.  Are the 
kexec kernel changes very intrusive?

WRT managing software updates correctly, xen-based production PL 
systems simply would need to be added to a node group whose yum 
repository would have xen PLKs rather than regular PLKs.  I think that 
is about it!

Please remind me with which PL provided kernel you were working.  We've 
run into some 2.6.18 / FC5 badness that prompted me to revert back to a 
2.6.17-based FC5 kernel, but I have not checked on its Xen capabilities.

Marc
