This is likely the wrong place to ask this question, but it's the best I could come up with. I've searched high and low for an answer, but to no avail. If there's a better venue, please direct me there. I want to use one of the Fedora 20 images to run a VM on a locally installed Xen server. Dom0 is also Fedora 20. I've been trying to use virt-install. When I install the instance with: virt-install --graphics=none --name=test --ram=1024 --import --disk=Fedora-x86_64-20-20131211.1-sda.raw --network=bridge:br0 --debug I get: ...

Videoram set to 4M. /builddir/build/BUILD/xen-4.3.1/tools/qemu-xen-traditional/hw/xen_blktap.c:628: Init blktap pipes Could not open /var/run/tap/qemu-read-15 xs_read(): target get error. /local/domain/15/target. The bridge br0 exists. I've run a similar setup in Fedora 16, but there I created the image files myself with boxgrinder. I can do something similar here, but I'd rather just use the stock image. The instructions for the default cloud image all seem geared to EC2 or OpenStack. How can I find out what's required for using this image with Xen? I've tried --extra-args="console=ttyS0,115200", but it looks like that won't work for a local image file. But maybe I'm misunderstanding the error "--extra-args only work if specified with --location". Thanks for reading this far! -- Eric. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
