Chiming in a bit late on this one.
Not sure you still have a problem with this but what I do for domU
install sources are;
- Download the distros iso, and copy its contents to some dir, I then
serve out that dir via a local apache server, so my install url would
look like;
http://ip-addy-of apache-server/centos5.3
or...
- I mount the DVD and use virt-install with the --cdrom flag;
virt-install --name centos --hvm --ram 512 --disk path=/var/lib/
libvirt/images/centos.img,size=20,sparse=false --cdrom=/dev/cdrom
just some options for flexible xen installs.
