Debootstrap doesn't seem to work either. When I try to install with:
debootstrap --arch amd64 --include=linux-image-xen-amd64,grub lenny /mnt/xen
Things seem to work out ok at first but at the end of the process
debootstrap fails to setup grub properly with these errors in the log:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-xen-amd64:
linux-image-xen-amd64 depends on linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64; however:
Package linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-xen-amd64 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
linux-image-xen-amd64
Also I keep seeing these througout the logfile:
/usr/share/debootstrap/functions: line 5: echo: write error: Broken pipe
(line 5 says 'while echo "$YES" ; do : ; done')
That doesn't look to healthy either (and might possibly be the real source
for the problem above).

That's what I'm going to try out next. It would still be nice to be able
to install a paravirtualized debian using virt-manager/virt-install though.
I actually managed to find out the correct install URL in the sources:
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/
With that url virt-install retrieves kernel and initrd but after
creating the domain the VM just panics during the kernel initialization.

Would it better not to use debootstrap? As in create an image file,
and point debootstrap to that?

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a paravirtualized Debian Lenny on a Centos 5.3 host.
With the virt-install that comes with centos/rhel I was only able to
install
it using HVM and then paravirtualizing it afterwards.
Now I have compiled more recent version of libvirt and the management
tools
that support installing Debian Lenny directly but I'm wondering what
URL I'm
supposed to specify? With centos/rhel I use the path
/(...)/centos/5/os/x86_64/ but Debian Lenny apparently uses a
different way
to organize it's repositories. What would the correct url parameter
be for a
Lenny 64 bit install?
Regards,
Dennis
