7:32 a.m.
All:
I am experiencing an oddity I just cannot explain. I recently moved from CentOS 5.3 to
5.4. I have this x86_64 machine as a host.
I am attempting to install an x86_64 VM on the x86_64 host using KOAN. Everything appears
to be working as I'd expect...however, when it gets to installing
glibc-common-2.5-42-x86_64 - it hangs. Well actually it gets to 1% and seems to sit there.
Initially I thought maybe I did some imports wrong, set my system up wrong, etc. On this
same host I was able to install a 32 bit CentOS 5.4 guest...
I didn't see anything amiss looking at the various virtual consoles...
Has anyone had any troubles/issues with CentOS 5.4?
Or, anything anyone can suggest I examine to see what may be causing the hang?
I do know when this particular machine was my Cobbler server and running CentOS 5.3 x86_64
- it never had an issue. I just updated the kernel to 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen but that
didn't help either...
Thanks in advance!

Additionally - I am using the Xen kernel :)
Also, I kicked off KOAN around 8 am this morning... Right now the glibc-common
installation is now at 12% - little over 3 hours to reach 12% :(

Some additional information :)
I installed cobbler on the x86_64 host...and trying to install a guest vm there - same
hang on glibc-common.

It sounds like an anaconda problem. At this point cobbler/koan should
be completely out of the equation. Is it downloading glibc-common or
actually installing? If it is downloading that might be an issue
because the install source is on the cobbler server, but if it is
installing, that is completely out of cobbler's hands. Maybe
glibc-common is bad on whatever media you imported the distro from?

For starters (meaning before I put cobbler on the host), the host itself was KOAN'd
(with a --replace-self) from the same Cobbler server and therefore the same glibc-common
RPM. Without going into too much detail I have done a --replace-self a few times and the
host always seems to reinstall completely in under 10 minutes.
I believe it is installing - the progress bar indicated 1% (fairly quickly) - but took
almost 3.25 hrs to reach 12%. I finally killed it when I installed Cobbler on the host
itself - and then attempted a KOAN VM install from that host itself...
I could try to re-download the DVD ISO again. I considered that earlier too - but
didn't as the host seems to install OK using the same RPMs...

Woo hoo - kudos to Brenton Leanhardt - he's the man!
He had asked me how much memory I was allocating to my guest VM... My machine is RAM
constrained (as in it has 1 GB), so I was only allocating 256 MB :o Apparently I need a
minimum of 512 MB ;) Oops!
Its installing just fine now :)
Thanks y'all for the help!
