xen discuss - Oct 2007 - virt-install fails in b75a

After an "exaustive" search on what may be causing this, I still
can''t figure it out.
I keep getting this same error when trying to run virt-install:


# virt-install

Also may be important...maybe not; At b75a boot, it shows an
"CPU0:...erratum 6336786" thingy.  It''s probably some simple
missive.  Any help?

Thanks for responding.  I went through that, but it seems the services are
disabled:

# svcadm enable svc:/system/xvm/console:default
# svcs | grep xvm
disabled       Oct_30   svc:/system/xvm/domains:default
disabled        0:31:23 svc:/system/xvm/xend:default
disabled        0:31:23 svc:/system/xvm/store:default
offline         0:33:15 svc:/system/xvm/console:default

or 

# svcadm enable -r svc:/system/xvm/xend:default
# svcs | grep xvm
disabled        0:40:15 svc:/system/xvm/console:default
disabled        0:40:15 svc:/system/xvm/domains:default
disabled        0:42:43 svc:/system/xvm/xend:default
disabled        0:42:43 svc:/system/xvm/store:default
# svcadm enable -r -s -t svc:/system/xvm/console:default
svcadm: Instance "svc:/system/xvm/console:default" has unsatisfied
dependencies.

ideas?

Are you booted in i86xpv?

  # uname -a


If you in i86xpv, enable them in this order.



svcadm enable xvm/store
svcadm enable xvm/xend
svcadm enable xvm/console
svcadm enable xvm/domains
