Fedora xen - Aug 2007 - F7 guest install failing on stage2.img

I am attempting to install a paravitualized F7 guest (from this location 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/)
onto an FC7 Domu (kernel 2925). It goes through the download process, 
but continues to fail on the following line from the debug console (Alt-F3):

INFO: 519444 kB are available
INFO: transferring 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/disc1/images/stage2.img
to a fd

This occurs whether I install to a file system (in /var/lib/xen/images) 
or to a raw partition. Is there a simple config issue which I am not 
selecting?

The ''Everything'' location is not an installable tree - it has
no ''images''
directory with install images - its merely a YUM repo. For initial install
use

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/

Once installed you can still access all Fedora RPMs.

Dan.

Thanks... same issue tho:

519444 kB are available
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os//images/stage2.img
to a fd
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os//disc1/images/stage2.img
to a fd

I am using the virt-manager GUI with no kickstart file. Is that a bad 
config?
