Hi all;
Trying to deploy a CentOS 5 domU under RHEL 5.3 64-bit and am running
into the following error:
virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid configuration unexpected EOF')
Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start cobbler'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

Traceback (most recent call last):

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid configuration unexpected EOF')
This only seems to happen when I pass my virt-install command as
follows:
virt-install --name cobbler --ram 1024 --file=/ludlow2/cobbler.img \
--vnc --vcpus=2 --nonsparse -w bridge:xenbr0 -l \
http://yummie.esri.com/mrepo/centos5-x86_64/os/ \
-x "updates=http://yummie.esri.com/updates/updates-el5.1.img ks=http://yummie/ks/ks.php?arch=x86_64&distro=centos&major=5&minor=2" \
--os-type=linux -d
The error appears to be triggered by my kickstart URL location which
includes ampersands and such -- despite the fact that I am include
quotes around the entire argument.
The debug output indicates that the XML is being written with the
ampersand changed into &.
If I change my kickstart location to a URL without the GET variables,
everything works fine.
Bug? Expected behavior? Workaround? Perhaps this is an issue in
virt-install and wouldn't happen if I crafted the XML file myself?

Thanks,
Ray
