Hi Louie,


I use a centos 5.2 Dom0, I have managed to install a paravirt guest with
virt-install and quite a few settings:
virt-install -n mg3 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 -b wanbr --vnc --vncport=5917
--noautoconsole --os-type=linux --os-variant=centos5 -p -l
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.3/os/x86_64/

This is my first working from scratch para virt config but I don''t
understand where the configuration is being stored. I can''t seem to use
xm create and xm destroy, the VM seems to be a permanent fixture in xm
list and only responds to xm start and stop. Is there any way I can get
virt-install to create a standard config file so I can use xm create and
xm destroy as I do with HVMs and HVMs converted to Para?


Thanks,

Rob

	I also can''t install or boot with centos 5.3''s
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel, so maybe you can test with centos 5.2, it
will install sucessfully
