Ovirt devel - Nov 2008 - problem installing the appliance

Hi all,
First of all, I apologize if it's not the right place to send questions
about overt but this is the only mailing list I see.

I've just installed ovirt-appliance 0.95.1 on fedora core 9 (not that easy
because I have my own dhcp server). After the installation, I can connect to the
web server but the authentication fail (http error_log says it doesn't find
any KDC). Except some trick on the hypervisor to make the appliance running
(stopping iptables and ip6tables, creating a new script for putting the
appliance tap on the good bridge), the install is a stock one. I've took a
look ? ipa.conf, krdc5.conf... but I don't see where is the problem. Any
ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

This is the right list.  Sorry for the delay, didn't see this mail until 
recently :)

It could be an appliance initialization problem that we've recently seen 
here.  The domain we're using on the appliance is priv.ovirt.org which 
actually does resolve externally since *.ovirt.org resolves as a wildcard.

To confirm that this is the problem, if you can send me a few logs that 
would help me figure out what went wrong.  Actually, if you can tar up 
your entire /var/log dir on the appliance and send it that would be best.

Thanks,
