xen discuss - Sep 2009 - Installing s9u8

Hi,

I am trying to install s9u8 as a dumU on an snv_111 dom0 using:

virt-install --hvm --name s9u8 --ram 512 --vnc \
  --os-type=solaris --os-variant=solaris9 \
  --network bridge=stub0 \
  -f/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/xvm/guests/s9u8/disk0 \
  --cdrom /Images/sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso

To boot from the iso image, I needed to make a manual selection of the enabled 
drivers and remove a PCMCIA driver.

After choosing not to configure graphics, the installer appears to be hung. In 
case it is just really slow, I am going to be patient, but does anyone have any 
recommendations regarding s9 installations?

Thank you, Nils

I am running 122 now and everything seems to run really smoothly. Thank you very
much for your advise and to everyone contributing to xen and xvm for the great 
product.
