What I'm trying to do is to run through the example on page 18 of "The
Book of Xen" by Takemura & Crawford.

I'm trying to use CentOS because that's what they used in the book.

so CentOS host with virtualisation.  Getting it's ip address from DHCP.

my virt-install is as follows:

[root@localhost ~]# virt-install --prompt
What is the name of your virtual machine? capello
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
 What would you like to use as the disk (file path)?
/var/lib/xen/images/capello.img
 How large would you like the disk (/var/lib/xen/images/capello.img)
to be (in gigabytes)? 4
 What is the install URL? http://192.168.1.73/iso


Starting install...
Retrieving file .treeinfo...                             |  413 B     00:00
Retrieving file vmlinuz...                               | 2.1 MB     00:00
Retrieving file initrd.img...                            | 7.2 MB     00:00
Creating storage file...                                 | 4.0 GB     00:00
Creating domain...                                       |    0 B     00:00

The apache error_log contains the following:
[Tue Jun 22 07:22:42 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.73] (70014)End of
file found: mod_mime_magic: read failed from uncompress of
/var/www/html/iso/images/xen/vmlinuz

I did tail -f on the access_log but nothing seems to be being written there.

How would I tell if the DomU gets an IP address (I specified DHCP when
prompted by the install in the VM)?

Cheers,

Ewan
