Hi all

This is the first time I try and get Xen working, and want to install a few CentOS 5.1 32bit and FreeBSD 6.1 VM's on my CentOS 5.1 x64 server.

Trying to get the first one to install is rather trivial, and I keep on running into errors. At fist I wanted to install it fro the cdrom, so I used "virt-install --cdrom=/dev/hdc" It booted up, and I could choose my language, but then got an error saying I don't have the right driver for the cdrom install. Odd.

So, I copied the whole CD to my intranet server, to try a HTTP installation, which got much further, but fails as soon as it starts copying the files to the xvda partition.

Here's what I've done:
virt-install -p --location=http://intranet/kickstart/centos/5.1/32/os/i386 --ram=512 --file=/vm/vm03.img --name=vm03

What am I doing wrong?


as far as i am aware on standard RHEL or CentOS 5 packages a 32bit domU on a 64bit dom0 is not supported and known to crash


That's incorrent. I have three Rhel5.1 x86_64 xenhosts with different 32 bits domU, centos 5.1, centos 5.0 and rhel5.1 included ...

I think that problem is selinux. In redhat docs explains that domU needs to reside on /var/lib/xen if you use selinux. You can try to disable selinux (/etc/sysconfig/selinux) and all works ok.
