Please help in creating VMs it this case. my virt-manager and virt-install are not working. and I am following this link to create xen DomUs http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/setup-fedora-11-pv-domu-at-xen-3-4-1-dom0-kernel-2-6-30-rc6-tip-on-top-of-fedora-11/#comment-618

Did you also read his update on that post, linking to

?
Yes I did, but i have a question about it as well, Since i have compiled xen with this kernel version, Do i need to install it from rpm as well? or just i should skip that step and start installing libvirt?Also tell me should it be done from my dom0 or from the base kernel(nonexen)?

I'd start with running "xm list" and see if your domU is actually
running or not. After that, do something like
I am getting dom0 with running status
[root@Server1-FC11 xendoms]# xm list

netstat -anp | egrep "(:59)(.+)(LISTEN)"
[root@Server1-FC11 xendoms]# netstat -anp | egrep "(:59)(.+)(LISTEN)"

to see if there's any process listening on port 5900+. If a domU was
started and it has a vnc GUI, there should be some qemu-dm process
shown there.

Where does loop0 come from? If you're using disk/partition as domU
storage you can simply specify the block device (e.g. /dev/sdb,
/dev/sda4, etc.). If you're using file you can directly use tap:aio.
[root@Server1-FC11 xendoms]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53309 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000080

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14        2180    17406427+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3            2181       42776   326087370   83  Linux

I'm guessing you specified the wrong disk and domU didn't start at all.
I am not using LVM partitions. when i specified one dom disk as /dev/sda i have nothing for next dom. In such situation is it good to use file? like u suggest.
