Hi all

I keep on getting this error when I try and install a Xen guest on a CentOS 5.1 x64 server with Xen installed from the repositories:



[root@gimbli ~]# virt-install sdl=0 vnc=0 nographic=0 -v --location=http://intranet/kickstart/cPanel/centos/5.1/32/os/i386/ --ram=256 --file-size=10 --file=/home/vm/vps07.img --name=vps07

Looking at "virt-install --help" parameters sdl=0, vnc=0 and nographic=0 seems incorrect.

You are not supposed to pass --location with -v. --location is only for paravirtualized guest installation where you are trying to install an HVM since you specified -v. What you need to specify is a boot cd for the hvm to boot.
