I installed both i386 and x86_64 HVM virtual machines from the DVD iso images today onto virtual disks. I noticed it asked me for a hostname. I've got a DHCP server running that can tell the VMs their hostnames. It would have been nice if anaconda had seen that info and filled in the name as the initial default (rather than localhost.localdomain which is what I got). I typo-ed one of the names (which confused me later till I figure it out). That's what the DHCP server is for - to prevent typos :-). The i386 VM reached the end of the install where it normally reboots, and the VNC console window froze up with a black screen and an hourglass cursor. I gave it about 5 minutes and then did an "xm destroy", and the subsequent "xm create" worked fine, It came up in the initial firstboot screen and all seemed well. Once upon a time, there was a System>Administration item for configuring the display. I know the virtual video card can do better than 800x600, but when I look at the X log, the server has convinced itself that 800x600 and 640x480 are the only two valid modes. Is there any handy tool that is no longer in the admin menu I can run to convince it the virtual monitor can handle a bigger display? Do I have to hack up an xorg.conf file by hand and tell it a bigger refresh timing range for the monitor? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
