Xen users - Apr 2008 - can''t create domU in Ubuntu - Floating point error

Hi all

I just installed Ubuntu 8.04-server-amd64 and want to get a CentOS domU 
installed, but virt-install keeps on failing with Floating Point exception:

root@venus:~# virt-install -v --name=vps02 --file=/home/vps02.img 
--file-size=10 --ram=512
Floating point exception


root@venus:~# uname -a
Linux venus 2.6.24-16-xen #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 14:35:03 UTC 2008 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

I''ve installed just about every xen package I could get, and this 
article 
(http://notepad.bobkmertz.com/2007/11/installing-xen-on-ubuntu-710-amd64.html 
) suggest a few packages to install

Any suggestions?

Well, that''s weird!  I think I''d suggest filing a bug against
the Ubuntu
package.  It''s not something I''ve heard of happening before,
so it''s possible
that it''s specific to your situation, or to the particular version of
the
tool you''re using.

Daniel: hope you don''t mind me cc-ing, I wondered if you might have a
hint for
us?

Cheers,
Mark

That is bizarre - I''ve never seen such a error from virt-install.
I''d
suggest running with --debug so it''ll show you how far through it is
progressing. Then file a bug report with the output fro mthe debug mode.

hmm, nice trick :)

root@venus:~# virt-install -v --ram=512 --file-size=10 --name=vps02 
--file=/home/vps02.img --debug
Fri, 02 May 2008 17:58:11 DEBUG    Disk path not found: Assuming file 
disk type.
Floating point exception
root@venus:~# ls /home/
lordmerlin  vps01.img

So, why doesn''t the image get created automatically?

And where do I submit a bug report?
