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

install.py", line 460, in ?

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed
Has anyone seen this problem and know how to work around it.
thanks,
