RE: [Fedora-xen] FC5 Xen Guest install failed

Thank you for your answer.

But I already tried this without success. Looks more like a guest root filesystem problem i guess.

Howdy -

I had a similar problem and fixed it by changing '-l 
http://sitename' to '-l http://1.2.3.4' (i.e., the IP address for 
sitename).  It was almost like the installer couldn't look up sitename once 
the networking was started, and failed badly as a result.

Hi,

 

Strictly following the FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 wiki (http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 ), I get blocked at the following step :

 

/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py -n fc5template -f /xenimg/fc5template -s 6 -r 512 -l http://xen1

The installation starts and a few seconds after the network configuration, I get :

 

loader received SIGSEGV!.  Backtrace:

you may safely reboot your system
If your install has exited, you can restart your guest by running
'xm create -c fc5template'.  Otherwise, you can reconnect to the console
by running 'xm console fc5template'

xend.log says :

...

I tried on another server with a new install : same problem. Server has 2 Gb RAM and enouth disk space.

Thanks for any help.
