All, FYI, I'm running into some memory corruption when using CVS tip and trying to use an older virt-install command. I won't have time to debug this today, so I thought I would mention it on-list in case someone else wants to take a crack at it. My system is an AMD system running RHEL-5.2 x86_64 bits, so it has python-virtinst-0.300.2-8.el5 installed. Basically, I did this: # cvs co libvirt # cd libvirt # ./autogen.sh # make dist >From here, I took the resulting .tar.gz, and dumped it into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, and then took the SPEC file from the Fedora 9 sources. I had to modify the very top of it (since RHEL-5 rpmbuild didn't like the macros for whatever reason), but if I read the logic right, I put these flags at the top: %define with_polkit 0 %define with_proxy yes %define with_qemu 0 Then I built and installed a libvirt and libvirt-python RPM with this. Finally, I restarted libvirtd, and then tried to run the following command: [root@amd1 libvirt]# virt-install -n test -f /var/lib/xen/images/test.img -s 10 -r 768 -v -c /var/lib/xen/images/boot.iso -d --vnc Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:59:10 DEBUG DistroInstaller location is a local file/path: /var/lib/xen/images/boot.iso Starting install... Segmentation fault [root@amd1 libvirt]# It happens every time, so it should be fairly easy to track down.
