Hi all,

 

i still have problem…. Some time I am able to install and other not. I tried this on different machine either in a pool and either in a single installation of XCP.

 

These are the steps I use to create a VM:

 

 

# set disk size

xe template-param-set uuid=9d8c3be5-f16b-7446-b978-e23551d8a77e other-config:disks="<provision><disk device=\"0\" size=\"21474836480\" sr=\"\" bootable=\"true\" type=\"system\"/></provision>"

 

# install VM

xe vm-install template="CentOS 5.4 x64" new-name-label="Test" sr-uuid=be51be94-8f80-1010-c88c-0e07a55c39a8

 

# create VM vif0

xe vif-create vm-uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390 network-uuid=b82128e2-aa9a-8971-47c8-95b819dce275 mac=random device=0

 

# set install repository to local install server

xe vm-param-set uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390 other-config:install-repository="http://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CentOS/5.4/os/x86_64/"

 

# start it

xe vm-install vm=Test

 

I used the content of centos.cgi from Vern’s XCCS, but I always receive the same error:

 

[root@xcp1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=Liberty on=b3a1cd29-4560-47d0-95d9-87ec65e27197                        The bootloader returned an error

vm: fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390 (Liberty)

msg: Error from bootloader: Failed to parse the output of bootloader: ()

[root@xcp1 ~]#

 

This is the output of vm-param-list:

 

[root@xcp1 ~]# xe vm-param-list uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390

Is there someone who could help me?

 

Thanks a lot for any suggestion,
