I''m using Fedora 7 with xen''s virt-manager. I''d manage to install a full virtualized WinXp domU after changing the settings in .xml files. Now I would like to try to install the paravirtualize fedora 7 using virt-manager I''m using this install media address > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/ And the virt-manager console was managed to show up the installation screen. After the normal steps of the installation, the console was hanged when it shows the ''Retrieving image2'' I even had tried to used the Fedora 7 installation DVD as the installation media but it''s cant detect the cdrom when the installation begins. I''d googled and find out that I can export the DVD using a FTP/NFS/HTTP from dom0 host, but how to do this? According to Sadique, the Fedora 8 seems to have a better and easy virt-manager to manipulate the Xen virtualization. How to upgrade the fedora 7''s virt-manager to fedora 8''s? --Stephen Neohtm,Malaysia

How to upgrade the fedora > 7''s virt-manager to fedora 8''s?You''ll probably want to upgrade more than just virt-manager. At least libvirt, python-virtinst, xen and kernel-xen. Enable the Fedora development repository while installing these by doing: yum --enablerepo=development install xen [etc...] Rich. -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.

Also switch to Alt + F2 and try to manually mount the nfs share from the shell and identify the problem. --Sadique Ok. I''m connecting to my campus network. The dom0''s ip address is 10.0.38.105/255.255.255.0 Gateway address :10.0.38.254 , DNS Server : 10.0.3.2 I''d done trough the guides for mounting the dvd.iso guide from the redhat''s kbase While the domU settings set to 10.0.38.106/255.255.255.0 I''d entered the nfs address with 10.0.38.105 & folder : /nfs Then I switch to alt-F3 and got the following console: :going to do getNetConfig :eth0 is not a wireless adapter :reverse name lookup failed :going to STEP_URL :going to do nfsGetSetup :mounting nfs path 10.0.38.105:/nfs Then I got the message error "That directory could not be mounted from the server" It''s there any settings that I had done wrongly? Sorry that I''m not so familiar with the network config. --Neohtm> --Sadique > > >> According to Sadique, the Fedora 8 seems to have a better and easy >> virt-manager to manipulate the Xen virtualization.
