Hi All,
I have just installed xen on fedora core 5. I used yum to install xen and
kernel-xen0 (and their dependancies)
I can reboot into the new domain0 without issue. When I try and configure a new
domain using xenguest-install.py it gets to the point of wanting to install, and
then fails.
I have mounted the Fedora Core 5 DVD on /var/www/html/fc5 and the webserver is
running, and it is also exported via NFS (So I could test multiple methods)
Neither work. Below are the steps taken and the resulting output:
[root@xen01 xen]# xenguest-install.py
What is the name of your virtual machine? fc5
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/xen/vmdisk/fc5
How large would you like the disk to be (in gigabytes)? 4
What is the install location? http://localhost/fc5
Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err
''destroyDevice() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)'')
Failed to get devices for domain fc5
Traceback (most recent call last):

createLinux
if ret is None:raise libvirtError(''virDomainCreateLinux()
failed'')
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed
I tried to free up some memory for the new Virtual machine but this did not help
either.
[root@xen01 xen]# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 512 1 r----- 146.9
I also tried using NFS and got the same results.
Any ideas where to look for this problem?
Cheers,
Brad

When I try and configure a new domain using xenguest-install.py it gets to the point of wanting to install, and then fails.I and some colleagues realized that this script is not always as reliable as one could wish. In many cases, it produces usable results, in some not. You could try to use a newer version, as the one in FC5 is quite a bit more beta than the one in FC6, I think. you might get better help on fedora-xen mailing list for these things.

Download latest version of XEN from Xen source as FC6 is not so stable aswell... or other option would be to leave Fedora and go with OpenSuSE10.2 as it includes stable version of Xen and works absolutely fine. But yeh i guess you should first download the latest version of Xen and then see if you get hold of the problem...

Things have been majorly improved in the versions of it present in FC6 / RHEL-5 and later. It is also renamed to virt-install.
