+i kind of doubt it, it looks more like xc isn't available (xenconsole?) 
+(thanks anyway, colin :-) )
+
+btw: @tv, any reason why you're using xend? the xl toolchain doesn't require 
+xend at all.
+
+i was planning on removing xm and xend support.
+
+perhaps closer should be to find out what libvirtd isn't working?
+
+of course, i did ask to maintain this, but it isn't easy for me to actually 
+test it :-(. i had planned to test this at work, but other work has made me 
+unable to actually run it for a while...
+
+anyway, i had to patch some stuff about xenconsole, but maybe i should take a 
+closer look into what other patches fedora has. well, i should at least try to 
+find some hardware i can use for this.
+
+also, i had planned on dropping internal qemu, but it upstream told me to wait 
+for the next major version.
+
+if anyone can help me out with xen, i'd appreciate it.
+
+
+@tv:
+ - did you manually make another boot entry in grub with the hypervisor as 
+kernel and the kernel as module and the initrd as another module? (that is 
+necessary)
+ - could you check if the xl command does work?
+ - could you possibly give logs for libvirtd (and maybe do: 'systemctl list-
+units' ?)
+
+thanks a bunch
