Hello,

RHEL 5.5 has been released, and it contains many Xen related fixes.

Here's the most important of the them.. fixing a dom0 caching bug which
could cause domU disk corruption when the domU disk was accessed from dom0
after the domU was shutdown. Most people noticed this bug when pygrub
used wrong (cached) information.

"pygrub uses cached and eventually outdated grub.conf, kernel and initrd":
