 Hi.

 I got some server running xen 3.4 from gitco, the setup was easy:
  groupinstall Virtualization
 done.

 Now, I want to try some settings in my home machine, follow the same
instructions and got this:

Warning: Group Virtualization does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

yum grouplist

Doesn't show any Virtualization just Xen,  I try that one but is not
using gitco port.

Some knows if something change?

Centos 5.8 updated.

Try Gitco 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 4.1.x

yum groupinstall Xen is correct, for CentOS 5.8.  Don't forget to put the .repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d.  CentOS 5.7 used "Virtualization" group, 5.8 got bumped to "Xen" in preparation for KVM as an alternative virtualization technology.

These are our standard installation instructions for "no special command line parameters necessary" machines, such as our desktop-quality test beds:

# yum update

# reboot

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d

# wget http://www.gitco.de/repo/GITCO-XEN4.1.2_x86_64.repo

# yum update

# yum groupinstall Xen

# reboot

Some hardware needs "pci=nomsi" on the vmlinuz module line used by the Xen hypervisor to load up the dom0.
