[Xci-devel] Problem creating xen paravirtual guest

[akshayakarle@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,
I installed kernel-x86_64 2.6.32.26-174.1.xendom0.el6.

x86_64 on cent os 6 x86_64 and got xen-4.0.1 working on it. I have been able to create full virtual systems with virt-install and virt-manager, but when I tried creating paravirtual domu cent os 5 x86_64 I am getting the following error:

ERROR    Could not find a kernel path for virt type 'xen'
Domain installation does not appear to have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start cent'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
ERROR    Could not find a kernel path for virt type 'xen'
Traceback (most recent call last):

    "'%s'" % self.type))
ValueError: Could not find a kernel path for virt type 'xen'

I created the virtual machine using virt-install using the following command:
virt-install -n cent5 -r 256 -l http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/images/xen/ --disk path=/home/aks/vm/cent.img -p

Hope you can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Akshay Karle
