Hi Jan -
I just upgraded yesterday from suse 11.4 to 12.1. 12.1 only has xen-libs, and
xen-tools (both 4.1.2) is for a domu. (Technically, a dom0 is just a
privileged domu. None the less, 11.4 had a xen-tools *and* a xen-tools-domu.)
There is no xen hypervisor - my /boot/xen.gz is still the 4.0.2 from 11.4 - or
any xen rpm at all. No /etc/xen, /etc/udev, /usr/lib/xen, xend, xm, xl, etc.
Do you have some insight into what the hold up is? Thanx.

Not possible - it's a 32 bit system.
I suppose I could download the xen .src.rpm, and recompile it, assuming they
haven't disabled i586 for some reason. I just want to know if it's supported,
or suse ran into a snag getting it to work for i586.
Anyone know if they will eventually support it?

It's not supported, but it's being evaluated to re-add the 32-bit
hypervisor (which got dropped largely because the same source tree
gets used for SLE11 SP2, where the dropping of support for it implies
the removal of the package). See bug 732424.

No, I do not expect it to get considered supported again. You'll be
left on your own in dealing with eventual problems (which doesn't
exclude us merging fixes that get provided or pointed out), as stated
in comment 15 of aforementioned bug.
