Hi all,
I downloaded the f16 install DVD (6.5 hours) and have been trying to install it to an lvm partition that is part of
a Xen box. Two days later I'm asking for help.
Hope this doesn't sound like a rant but I'm very frustrated. This is a description of what I've been going through
with a request for help at the very basic level of "Set Up your Drives".
I can't use livecd to install because that method won't install into a virtual environment and shutting down every
other vm just so I can boot "bare metal" takes down my entire operation: no dns, no mail, no web, no firewall, no
databases. Nulla. Nada. Squatalucci. Out of business while a livecd install takes place. I'm not the only user
here. That means I take down every other business, too.
i stopped read here
if ANYTHING in a virtual machine brings the host down then
you have a much bigger problem as this guest - this has to
be impossible in a working virtualization!
Thanks for your response, Reindl.
It is not a vm taking down the host. It is I who must shutdown every vm
in order to boot onto "bare metal" without a hypervisor. That is
required because livecd technology will not install into a virtual
machine. The only way I know to install into a vm is to use actual
install media.
