I''m trying to install a CentOS 5.2 64 bit guest on a CentOS 5.2 64 bit host using virt-install from a repo over http. The installation starts, but when it tries to download the stage 2 image, it stalls and eventually times out. I''ve tried several repos using both ftp and http. There is no firewall and selinux is disabled (and I rebooted after disabling it.) There are no log messages to indicate that something is wrong -- it just hangs. I can manually browse and download from all the repos I''ve been using. Anyone ever seen this before? Suggestions for troubleshooting? I''ve run strace, and all I can see is that it''s waiting. I''m stumped. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi, I haven''t had much luck with this myself so my workaround; 1 - Setup a quick-n-dirty web server. 2 - Downloaded the 5.2 DVD ISO. 3 - Copied the entire contents to the server in a dir like centos off its web root. 4 - Pointed the Xen domU installer to it (something like http://mylocalweb/centos) . I do with with RHEL as well. Its faster and more reliable and is worth the initial investment of time. - Brian On Jan 7, 2009, at 11:18 AM, maillists0@gmail.com wrote:> I''m trying to install a CentOS 5.2 64 bit guest on a CentOS 5.2 64 > bit host using virt-install from a repo over http.

Could you try virt-install via NFS share (just local) either simulate http
mirror via local
Apache instance, to avoid routing to the Net ?

I''m trying to install a CentOS 5.2 64 bit guest on a CentOS 5.2 64 bit
host using virt-install from a repo over http. The installation starts, but when

I''ve tried several repos using both ftp and http. There is no firewall
and selinux is disabled (and I rebooted after disabling it.) There are no log
messages to indicate that something is wrong -- it just hangs. I can manually
browse and download from all the repos I''ve been using.
Anyone ever seen this before? Suggestions for troubleshooting? I''ve run
strace, and all I can see is that it''s waiting. I''m stumped.
