Hey guys,
First post and apologies if this has been up OT before. virt-install
fails to create a domU for FC6/7. Distro of node is BLAG, an FC
derivative. Just jump to the end to the end of the boot up message to
see where the domU hangs. /var/log/xen/xend.log indicate no warnings or
explanations why this domain has failed to be "born".
Commands used:-
/usr/sbin/virt-install --name fx6foo \
--paravirt \
--ram 256 \
--nographics \
--file-size 10 \
--file /dev/zulu_images/fx6foo \
--location
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
or
[root@zulu ~]# virt-install --paravirt \> --name fx7template \
