If I do a install using -p things work great, no issues, have 8+ virtuals created around using para and even on my fully virtual enabled server, I can create a guest without issue using paravirtual.
If i do the same install but use the config switch -v (full virtualization) the install dumps me back saying i can reconnect but I can't.

This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. y Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:25:34 DEBUG Path is block file: Assuming Block disk type.

[root@devxen xen]# virsh connect trub libvir: error : could not connect to trub error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
[root@devxen xen]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 4 trub no state
I can't connect or console or anything and I'm only using console access, ssh, serial, no graphical stuff at all.
I must be missing something, just strange. don't see anything in logs, and my remote install is showing that it's getting to installing some boel binaries and nothing else.
What's so different about paravirt and fullvirt?
Thanks Tory
