[Fedora-xen] Installing RHEL5 Paravirt on top of RHEL 5 hangs!
Hi, i dont know i here is the right place to ask, but im doing some tests on RHEL 5 and didn´t find any other place to ask! Im trying to install RHEL 5 as guest OS on a VM using virt-manager on a RHEL 5... I install xen packages, virt-manager, put 2GB ram for the main domain and im trying to create a VM. I get all RPMS from 5 cdroms of RHEL 5, put in a directory, copy the images directory of CD 1 too, run createrepo in that directory using the /Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml from CD 1. put that directory on a place where i can reach by apache. Start virt-manager, create new, using a file as a disk to vm and start the installation, first hangs right after set root password, i find in some release note that RHEL 5 need more than 1 GB ram to installation. I try again, put 2GB (the server have 8GB ram) and he reach the next step, selecting the packages! I let the default option and hit next. Than take about 1:30 hours to complete the dependency check on files selected to install, and then hangs! The problem is im totally stuck, i look all files on system, all commands i could use on xen to get some information and nothing. Anyone have any idea what can i do to fix it, or to get more information about what is the problem? Thanks.
