Hello everyone,
 
New to the mailing list and my first questions.
I am trying to set up Xen and having a tough time. I have Fedora Core 6 setup
and installing a xen machine. Installing the Xen Kernel went well however when
I try to install through virt-install I get this error message.
 
Code:
 
Starting install...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 447, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 411, in main
    dom = guest.start_install (conscb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtGuest.py",
line 202, in start_install
    return XenGuest.XenGuest.start_install(self, consolecb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py",
line 363, in start_install 
    self._create_devices()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py",
line 277, in _create_devices
    disk.setup()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py",
line 95, in setup 
    os.lseek(fd, off, 0)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
 
On the otherhand when I install through virt-manager – it gets to
the fedora core setup, however it stops at certain points in the install.
 
I am running a old box – p3 256 mb of ram- however I set the
dom-0 min memory to 64 and have Domain-0 memory at 100 and run the virt xen at
128 when installing. I am installing from my own nfs server which is mounted
and working properly.
 
Either way – I need help getting this installed – thanks!
