Re: R: [Xen-users] XCP - VM creation from template and netinst

[Vern Burke <vburke@xxxxxxxx>]

My install repository server is my back end storage server, private IP 
address on the SAN. I took a quick look at your install repository, 
looks like a valid CentOS 5.4 repo.
Does your XCP host have working network connectivity to reach the 
install repo? Do you have a working DNS server set?
If you've added the missing el5.4* file per my bug fix post, I'm a 
little mystified. I just used that script to fire up a test VM this 
morning and it worked fine.
