Re: Virt-install F7 DomU at SNV76 Dom0 (64 bit) hangs

I have SNV76 PVM and WinXP HVM running pretty stable in the same environment
I am also aware of  commands:- 
# svcs -a|grep xen
# xm info

The following works for me.  Are you sure you had a 64-bit iso?
The 32 PV domU on 64 dom0 support won''t be available until we
integrate 3.1.2.

: alpha[1]#; lofiadm -a /tank/guests/install/fedora7/64/F-7-x86_64-DVD.iso
/dev/lofi/1
: alpha[1]#; mount /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
: alpha[1]#; virt-install -n fedora7 -p -r 1024 --nographics -x
"console=hvc0" -f /tank/guests/install/fedora7/64/disk.img -l
nfs:192.168.0.70:/mnt


Starting install...

Yes, I am absolutely sure  F7 (64 bit) ISO image has been used on SNV76 xVM
Hardware:-
1.Core2Duo E6600
2.4 GB RAM ( Memory remapping was enabled in BIOS)
3.ASUS P5B Deluxe
4.160 GB SATA Drive (Seagate Barracuda)
I suspect BIOS configuration of memory might be an issue,
but it didn''t affect SNV76 PVM and WinXP HVM installed previously.

Re: Virt-install F7 DomU at SNV76 Dom0 (64 bit) hangs

If I require less then 1 GB Memory for F7 DomU it works fine.
If I require more then 1 GB Memory for F7 DomU installation hangs.
Might be hardware dependent issue.

Just did a F7 install with 1500M, works fine for me.

Yes, it works for 1 GB and  1.5 GB F7 DomUs . Just takes about 5 minutes 
to start screen output after initial message. I was not patient enough.
I suspect BIOS configuration of memory might be an issue.
However,installations of SNV76 PVM and WinXP HVM  start right away.
