This message is useless without knowing what arguments you supplied
to virt-install. Can you either show your command line, or give a
copy of the answers you supplied to each question prompt.

virt-install & virt-maanger use the same underlying libraries to kick
off the install process. So the fact that it worked in virt-manager suggests
a mistake in the info supplied to virt-install.

That is rather unlikely to work I'm afraid - Fedora Core 6 requires 256 MB
minimum if you want to do an Anaconda based install. Since you only have
256 MB in the host itself, I doubt you'll be able to allocate enough
RAM to the guest to complete the install successfully. 512 MB is a realistic
minimum for usefully running Xen - 1 GB is recommended.
