Hello,
Just getting my head around Xen. I''ve been able to successfully install
a Solaris dom0 and domU with the latest Solaris Xen code drop. Now I''m
moving on to Fedora Core 6 (64), and Its failing. I''m following the
instructions posted to
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/fedora-install.htm
But early in the install process I see GUI and shell errors stating
Warning
Could not get identity of device /tmp/hda - Invalid argument
96
Which I think are eventually preventing Fedora from installing. Google
doesn''t show anything about this error. I was wondering if anyone had
ideas on this?
Also, if anyone has suggestions on an appropriate FC release to use, I
am all ears!
Thanks...

I was doing a top during the install and it appeared that the process /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive started, did a some work, but now is just sitting there. Now, here''s something interesting, I just attempted to poke around in the mounted partitions, so I change directories to /mnt/sysimage. I attempted to ls the directory and ls is just hung. Thoughts? --joe

It hangs at Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... I suppose I can try setting up an HVM DomU --joe
