You need to probably setup your network bridging if it''s failing on yum or your install path is wrong.

If (like me) he''s following: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart I started with a FC4 minimal install (yum 2.3.2). By following the guide, yum --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base fails with: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released The guide cautions "Make sure that your yum configuration points to a valid repository." Unfortunately, it doesn''t mention that the default yum.conf (which works great for updating the system), is not adequate for initializing a blank filesystem. The default yum *.repo''s in FC4 use $releasever in their URL''s. This variable isn''t getting set because yum detects $releasever from the package "fedora-release" (default on FC4). Which hasn''t been installed into the chroot directory yet (chicken or egg?), so it autodetects Null. The only thing I''ve been able to work out so far is a custom yum.conf that bypasses the variable. Then I hit a roadblock with a package (specspo-9.0.92-1.3.noarch.rpm) with no gpg key So I disabled gpg checking in the custom yum.conf. The easiest thing I''ve come up with is: cd /etc cat yum.conf yum.repos.d/*.repo > yum.init-xenU.conf vi yum.init-xenU.conf :%s/\$releasever/4/ :%s/gpgcheck=1/gpgcheck=0/ ZZ yum -c /etc/yum.init-xenU.conf --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base Someone with a little sed knowledge could make a proper script of this. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

That''s a copy & paste bug that will ruin any recipe. Unfortunately, the tutorials rely on you having set yum to work with FC3 rawhide repositories. With a packaged release of xen on FC4, you still have to customize a yum.conf to be able to use --installroot. In the future, please post the exact error you are encountering and a link to the tutorial/guide/reference/cookbook if you are following one, so people (who want to help you) can better understand the context of your problem. Hope it helps. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
