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

Problem solved.

Same problem as "SIGSEGV on xenguest-install.py" 
topic.

I solved it by running the HTTP source server on 
another machine. Using the dom0 itself crashed the installation process just 
after the IP configuration.
Did 
anyone else encounter the same problem ? Maybe the Wiki should be 
updated... 
Thanks,

Guillaume

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 :
  ...

  exception looking up device number for xvda: [Errno 2] No such file or 
  directory: '/dev/xvda'
...

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