Be warned, I am definitely a xen newbie. I have spent an hour or so
googling, my issue without any success.

First, some stats about my environment:

=-=-=-=-

Platform:
Dual Xeon, 4GB RAM
`xm info`:
host                   : localhost.localdomain
release                : 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen

This all boots fine, and xm list reports a dom0.

Now, using text mode virt-install, I attempt to do an install of FC6
from the same tree as the platform used, via nfs (FC6 DVD copied to an
nfs share), using the following commandline:

=-=-=-=-
virt-install -n fc6sc -r 1024 -f /var/lib/xen/images/fc6-sc.img \
  -s 4 --nographics -p -l nfs:dev:/usr/local/export/fedorafc6-cd
=-=-=-=-

Anaconda starts up, and prompts me for language, and NIC
configuration, which I enter. I then get the "Welcome to Fedora"
message, followed by this most frightening dump:

=-=-=-=-=-

Leftover inexact backtrace:

And the installation hangs. I can CTRL-] out, but of course xen tells
me that a domain installation is still in progress, etc.

At this point, "xm list" shows:

=-=-=-=-

[root@localhost ~]# xm list

=-=-=-=-

How do I go about debugging this? What further information might I
provide to make it easier for someone to help me?

Thanks very much,
Ron
