This time I chaged a bit virt-install as following your blog

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 23:19:51 ERROR � �Paravirtualized guests cannot install off cdrom media.

So this is the error this time I got.Since my machine is non VT 64 bit so I feel I will be able to run only 32 bit hvm or pvm guests.I am trying 32 bit Ubuntu 10.04 pv guest.

Let me know if you think there any thing is wrong.

I have in roots .bashrc as you said

VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=�xen:///�

also the line in xend-config.sxp�

is uncommented.

Before �I proceed with what you suggested I wanted to tell

virsh version shows following

Compiled against library: libvir 0.7.5

Using library: libvir 0.7.5

Can above output be some kind of source to several existing problems?

Though I am able to boot to pv-ops Dom0 kernel and xm info output confirms that.

Try virt-install command line utility.

Hi,
I just installed a pv-ops Dom0 2.6.32.27 Kernel on a 64 bit non VT machine.
Following instructions here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0
for 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04

apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3
libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif texinfo
texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial build-essential make
gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted
libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev libjpeg62-dev iasl
libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml libx11-dev bison flex

apt-get install gcc-multilib
apt-get install xz-utils

make xen
make tools
make install-xen
make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=

I did not do make install-stubdom.




It is a Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 amd64 bit version.
Then as� mentioned here on this guide
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/virst-installvirt-manager-at-xen-4-0-rc8-2-6-32-10-pvops-dom0-on-top-ubuntu-karmic-koala-server/
(I did not follow the above guide strictly)

Commented out (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp ,
here is my xend-config.sxp
http://pastebin.com/M8CfrqBc
Then� exported variable� VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=�xen:///�
in root�s .bashrc.
Then :-
# apt-get install ubuntu-virt-server ubuntu-virt-mgmt

Now when I open virt-manager the option to install from Local ISO or
PXE are greyed out.
virt-manager version is 0.8.2


Let me know if there is any possibility of improvement so that I can
get the option of install from Local ISO here.
