Hi Henk, For the NFS problem, have you tried testing the nfs mount by mounting it back on Dom0 When i first set mine up i logged in as root on Dom0, created a dir called testmnt then mounted the nfs on it. In your case #mount 192.168.0.1:/fc_5 testmnt You should then see all of the install tree under testmnt The other thing, is look in /var/log/messages on Dom0, you should see the mount attempt from your DomU I also run with no firewall, is yours on? is it blocking the mounts? You other problem The startup works ok until the following error: "error: failed to retrieve FC_5/Fedora/base/stage2.img" I guess the file is actually there? try extracting it from CD again, maybe its corrupt. regards Adrian

So I experimented further. I made the mistake to assign to the new virtual machine the SAME ip address as the ip address of my Domain-0 ! After correcting this the installation was ok.
