Hi Kai,
I noticed that also. It will read my "old" configuration files located
in /etc/xen either using "xm create" to start a guest domain from the
CLI/shell or in the Virtual Machine Manager in GNOME.
All the new files created for new guests with Xen 3.2 are stored in
/var/lib/xend/domains/ with a UID and a single config.sxp. To start up
a guest domain with the new config.sxp files, I use the following
command from the CLI/shell:
# xm create --config=/var/lib/xend/domains/UID/config.sxp
For the old Python ones:
# xm create guest_domain_name
If the above doesn't work, this should (Note: this is for the old
config files):
# xm create --defconfig=/etc/xen/guest_domain_config
You can replace --config with -F and --defconfig with -f. They're
synonymous with the capital "F" being for newer XML configuration files
and the lowercase "f" for the older python scripts.
Good luck!

Many thanks. I had grepped for "xml" in the yum output,
but not for "XML".
There's obviously a dependency missing in the rpms.
After installing PyXML I can now use xen new, but I see it doesn't work
like I hoped it would work. It can't read the plain text config files that
were created by virt-manager. There is an option -F for using "sxp" config
files and I was assuming that might be the correct one, but it's not
working either (it always says the file is not there, although it is).
Is there a conversion tool or are we supposed to convert manually?
Kai
