Re: [Xen-users] Trying to create a domU under a 'fresh' install of RHEL5 / virt-manager..

[tmac <tmacmd@xxxxxxxxx>]

My fix was to do something like this....

using the virt-install command (NOT the gui, virt-manager), i had to
utilize: --extra-args=

so virt-install (all the normal args here) --extra-args="ip=x.y.z.a
netmask=255.255.255.0 gw=x.y.z.254"

The wrapper (virt-install) will tack on the
ks=http://192.168.150.6/virt/kickstart/test-2.cfg as well.

This was the "only" way for me to get it to work.
I also had change all NFSreferences to either http or ftp and in the
%post of the kickstart, instead
of NFS mounting,  I used wget ftp://path/to/file to get everything I needed.
