I am having trouble deploying Xen instances using cloudmin. I get the following error:
Failed to save Xen host : The selected system cannot support Xen instances : The kernel does not include Xen support. Perhaps your do not have the Xen-specific kernel installed?
Is there a hardware requirement that I am missing? I am running 2 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz processors with 4 GB ram.
I have ran yum install xen kernel-xen and believe that I have everything installed.
Is there any documentation for cloudmin?
Status:
Closed (fixed)

I realized that my CentOS installation wasn't booting to the correct kernel. After changing grub to boot to the xen kernel the issue is resolved.

Yes, that message means that the /proc/xen directory was not found, indicating that the running kernel doesn't support Xen.

I had the same problem once because the YUM update installed a non xen-kernel over the xen one for me and i didnt notice that it changed grub :)
I still havent found why it installed the non-xen kernel again because i think i had removed it
