Hi all,
So, I''ve been using
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomUas a guide to
installing CentOS on my Ubuntu 7.04 Dom0. Here''s what I''ve
done:
1. I downloaded the CentOS 5.1 DVD via the official bit torrent file hosted
on the CentOS mirrors
2. I''ve mounted the ISO file as a loop back device on Dom0
3. I''ve passed this device to one of my DomUs. I would have just
copied
this ISO to the DomU, but the DomU does not have enough space to host the
image. This DomU is running Ubuntu 7.04 and Apache 2.
4. I shared the contents of the ISO via apache. I''ve verified that I
can
navigate to the HTTP site via a second machine and that I can browse and
download the contents just fine.
5. Using a config file very similar to the one in the guide in step 1 (the
only things that are really changed are the names, paths, etc), I booted the
CentOS 5 kernel.
6. I set the installation to do an HTTP install and pointed it to the
address of the DomU hosting the contents of the DVD ISO.
That''s as far as I''ve gotten. The installation seems to hang
after several
hours. It complains that luci-0.10.0-6.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm is either
corrupt or unusable. If I look at the Apache logs for the site hosting the
RPMs, I can see that the installation re-downloads the package in question
ever 15-20 or so minutes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My Google-fu seems to come up short. Any
help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
