I am trying to install FC5 xen guests in a FC5 host, but it looks as if networking fails to come up. relevant info: - Centrino M laptop - install tree is also on laptop I tried the installtree over NFS and HTTP, with the following commandlines and error messages: xenguest-install.py -n vm1 -f /d/vm/vm1.vmdk -s 2 -r 256 -l http://192.168.3.35/5 -x "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us ip=192.168.3.39 vnc" /5/Fedora/base/stage2.img: Failed to connect to HTTP server and Unable to retrieve http://192.168.3.35/5/Fedora/base/stage2.img: Failed (I can wget the file from the host though) xenguest-install.py -n vm1 -f /d/vm/vm1.vmdk -s 2 -r 256 -l nfs:192.168.3.35:/data/fc/5/ -x "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us ip=192.168.3.39 vnc" That directory could not be mounted from the server. in the apache logs, I can see that the host, .35 is downloading images/xen/vmlinuz and images/xen/initrd.img but there is nothing in the logs which show that .39 comes up and tries to get stage2.img I have to assume that the interface in DomU does not come up correctly and no IP is assigned to this interface. Bridging looks correct: how bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no peth0 vif0.0 vif1.0 Any ideas on how to fix/troubleshoot this further? Also, does anyone know how to install off a CD-ROM image? the file /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py has references to cdrom but I see no way to point the installer at anything but nfs, ftp or http.
