Be warned, I am definitely a xen newbie. I have spent an hour or so
googling, my issue without any success.
First, some stats about my environment:
=-=-=-=-

This all boots fine, and xm list reports a dom0.
Now, using text mode virt-install, I attempt to do an install of FC6
from the same tree as the platform used, via nfs (FC6 DVD copied to an
nfs share), using the following commandline:
=-=-=-=-
virt-install -n fc6sc -r 1024 -f /var/lib/xen/images/fc6-sc.img \
-s 4 --nographics -p -l nfs:dev:/usr/local/export/fedorafc6-cd
=-=-=-=-
Anaconda starts up, and prompts me for language, and NIC
configuration, which I enter. I then get the "Welcome to Fedora"
message, followed by this most frightening dump:

And the installation hangs. I can CTRL-] out, but of course xen tells
me that a domain installation is still in progress, etc.
At this point, "xm list" shows:
=-=-=-=-
[root@localhost ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 3026 4 r----- 68.3
fc6sc 4 1023 1 -b---- 6.6
=-=-=-=-
How do I go about debugging this? What further information might I
provide to make it easier for someone to help me?
Thanks very much,
Ron
