I am trying to do a guest install of FC5 on a FC5 machine. Xen is running. I am having problems<br>with setting up a proper guest location for the install.<br><br>I did a loop back mount of a DVD iso image for FC5, then shared it with NFS
<br>in theory I want to use this to load my guest in xen.<br><br>mount -o loop -t iso9660 FC-5-i386-DVD.iso /mnt<br><br>then share /mnt on nfs.<br><br><br>xenguest-install.py<br>What is the name of your virtual machine? guest1
<br> How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256<br> What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /home/myhome/guest1<br> What is the install location? nfs:192.168.1.100:/mnt<br><br>is the path here correct or do I need a sub directory of the ISO image for location ?
<br><br>here is the debug:<br><br>Starting install...<br>libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: No such domain guest1a<br>Failed to get devices for domain guest1<br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-
