[Xen-users] Installing Xen

["Formoso, Travis" <Travis.Formoso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

 

New to the mailing list and my first questions.

I am trying to set up Xen and having a tough time. I have Fedora Core 6 setup and installing a xen machine. Installing the Xen Kernel went well however when I try to install through virt-install I get this error message.

 

Code:

 

Starting install...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 447, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 411, in main
    dom = guest.start_install (conscb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtGuest.py", line 202, in start_install
    return XenGuest.XenGuest.start_install(self, consolecb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 363, in start_install
    self._create_devices()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 277, in _create_devices
    disk.setup()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 95, in setup
    os.lseek(fd, off, 0)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

 

On the otherhand when I install through virt-manager – it gets to the fedora core setup, however it stops at certain points in the install.

 

I am running a old box – p3 256 mb of ram- however I set the dom-0 min memory to 64 and have Domain-0 memory at 100 and run the virt xen at 128 when installing. I am installing from my own nfs server which is mounted and working properly.

 

Either way – I need help getting this installed – thanks!
