[CentOS] XEN Paravirtualized CentOS5 beta on CentOS5 beta
Dear All, I'm trying to install CentOS5 beta as paravirtualized guest on a CentOS5 Xen host using virt-manager. Everything seems to go OK. I'm able to run virt-manager and fill-out all the details. Because you can only do a http/ftp/nfs install when setting up a paravirtualized guest using virt-manager, I made the whole contents of the CentOS5 beta DVD available via ftp. The start of the system looks fine. I can provide details about networking, but then I get a screen which ask me to fill-out the CentOS install directory(is "suggests" the same directory I used in virt-manager). But whatever I use it doesn't accept it. I am confident that I provided the correct directory, because the screens show CentOS on it. Also I created the ftp install-source as per the documentation. I've also tested it with fedora core 6 as described in the screenshots on virt-manager.et.redhat.com (e.g used the same install-source: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/), but no luck there. A screenshot is attached that contain the screen I get over and over. Did anybody succeed in getting CentOS5 running as guest in CentOS5? Kind regards, Patrick
