On a freshly installed v40z with snv108, virt-install of snv101a as a para guest fails this way : # virt-install -n p101a -p --nographics -f /root/p101a.img -s 10 -r 2048 -l /root/nv101a.iso Starting install... Creating storage file... 100% |=========================| 10 B 00:00 virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err ''Device 51712 (tap) could not be connected. Backend device not found.'') Domain installation may not have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running ''virsh start p101a''; otherwise, please restart your installation. Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:33:49 ERROR virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err ''Device 51712 (tap) could not be connected. Backend device not found.'') Traceback (most recent call last): # To make it worse, after the failure msg, the shell [rlogin connection] hangs, and after a while it drops the connection. And the host is not even pingable from outside. Console seems alright. Reboot into i86pc bits didn''t restore network connectivity; 2nd reboot into xpv fixed the network connectivity. I tried the cmd again, it failed with the same msg and again lost connnection. Did anybody else see this? Or do you suggest just one more install? TIA, surya

Try to move disk image to some other places that can be accessed read/write by other uid (particularly, by xvm) and try again...
