[Fedora-xen] Newby Help

[Walter Coole]

I'm having trouble getting Xen up on Fedora 6.  Following the
instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6 ,
I've got xend running, but haven't gotten a viable image running.

 

I tried (per the above) virt-manager.  I guessed that
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/ was
a suitable install tree, but when the installer (Anaconda, I guess) gets
to some point (it varies with each attempt) it stalls, sometimes
complaining about not getting a file.

 

I also tried xm, but haven't figured out how to deal with the error:

 

Cannot open root device "sda1"

 

Virsh throws a different error:

 

Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName

 

I'm befuddled by having tried several different sources, each of which
said "it's soooo easy", but failing to provide sufficient information to
get me past these issues, so I'd be grateful if someone could point me
to instructions geared to the meanest understanding.
