[Xen-users] Newbie question - unable to start guest OS on Fedora 8
Hi -
I am new to Fedora and Xen. I am trying to set up 3 guest OSes on a Fedora 8+Xen
install. I followed the documentation and things were fine until I tried to set
up a guest. After putting in all the parameters (disk image file path, 256 MB of
RAM, HDD etc), I used the following pointer for OS location:
http://archive.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/
The first stage of download seemed to go fine, and then the installation gets
stuck trying to retrieve the second stage. Here is the output of my ifconfig:

------------------------
I have two ethernet cards on the machine (although I need to use only one). I
have a realtek 10/100 (the eth0) and an Atheros 5005 PCI wireless card (which I
have disabled)
I tried to look on the internet, but most discussions of this sort of problem
usually end with "this looks like a network configuration issue..."
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Vishal..
