Hi,
I''ve been using xVM with no problems since 2009.06 release
(centos4/5, rhel4/5, sol10 as guests). This was using the 111a version. Just
installed a new server with the 111b version
and ....
virt-install --nographics -p -r 8192 -n CentOS_48_64_92 -f
/dev/zvol/dsk/zm0/vm/CentOS_48_64_92 -l ftp://192.168.101.120/pub/CentOS-48 -w
bridge=aggr0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel4

Sorry to post but I''ve no idea how to fix (other than going back to
111a ?), googling I found similar errors relating to 32bit problems and seem to
recall vaguely that 111b has
some 32bit hooks to get the dev image-update working.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Just a follow up to this, in case anyone else is having similar problems.
snv_134 exhibits similar behaviour (ie. the ftp install method seems broken)
works fine with a nfs mount on the dom0.
