[Fedora-xen] Question to virt-install and fully virt. guests (virt cd-rom)
Hi all, i have a problem with ''virt-install'' as follows: -------------------------- [root@gandalf ~]# uname -a: Linux gandalf 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:57:36 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@gandalf ~]# grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm [root@gandalf ~]# cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 -------------------------- Question: If i am going to execute ''virt-install'' and if i answer yes to the question, if i would like to create a fully virtualized guest, i have to enter some questions later a virtual cd-rom, but i do not know, what i have to enter here? I tried the iso, mounted iso as ftp or nfs, everything no luck. Does anybody know, what i am doing wrong? Thank you very much and kind regards, Thomas

Do not try to mount the ISO image - that won''t work - it needs the RAW iso image, rather than the directory tree.
