Hi all,
i have a problem with 'virt-install' as follows:
-------------------------- [root@gandalf ~]# uname -a: Linux gandalf 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:57:36 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@gandalf ~]# grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
[root@gandalf ~]# cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 --------------------------
Question: If i am going to execute 'virt-install' and if i answer yes to the question, if i would like to create a fully virtualized guest, i have to enter some questions later a virtual cd-rom, but i do not know, what i have to enter here? I tried the iso, mounted iso as ftp or nfs, everything no luck.
Does anybody know, what i am doing wrong?
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Thomas

You need to either enter the path to the ISO image on the local filesystem, eg /some/directory/myos.iso, or the path to the CDROM device /dev/cdrom.
Do not try to mount the ISO image - that won't work - it needs the RAW iso image, rather than the directory tree.
