Hi I wanna install a paravirtualized Debian DomU. Favorite to install with the Debian XEN Installer on http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/xen/ I tryed it with an CentOS image the installer starts seems to work, i didn''t finish the Install Here my Listing: lofiadm -a CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt share -F nfs /mnt virt-install -n CentOS_PV -p -r 1024 --nographics -l nfs:localhost:/mnt -f /storage/xen/CentOS_PV with virtinstall it was impossible to choose a location over http like http://debian.netcologne.de/centos/5.3/os/ or for Debian http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/xen Same with an Debian ISO Image. Is the path for vmlinuz and initrd hardcoded? If yes how should be the files stored? kind regards Darko Hojnik -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
I think your problem is the use of ''localhost'' - use the IP of the nfs server. ''localhost'' from the VM will point at the VM''s loopback interface...
