I think the issue is somewhere with the initrd, > but don't really found a hook to > change anything, maybe short of rebuilding the initrd using --preload xennet The error message about not finding a network driver is actually a little misleading in the Xen case. What it actually means is that the Dom0 host failed to create the backend interface for the virtual NIC - so there was nothing for the xennet driver to talk to. > If You're successfully installing FC6 domU's from within xen, please speak > up! > > the following are the relevant settings from the domU configfile > kernel = "/mnt/xendistro_temp//vmlinuz" > ramdisk = "/mnt/xendistro_temp/initrd.img" > extra = "ks=http://192.168.199.4/ks_fc6.cfg"; > ip = "192.168.199.5" > netmask = "255.255.255.0" > gateway = "192.168.199.1" > # single line :) > disk = [ 'phy:/dev/evms/ll-kickme_root,hda,w', > 'phy:/dev/evms/ll-kickme_rootmir,hdb,w', > 'phy:/dev/evms/ll-kickme_swap,hdc,w', > 'phy:/dev/evms/ll-kickme_home,hdd,w' ] > vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr1' ] This is your problem - 'type=ioemu' is only relevant for fully-virt guests, but you're trying to do parav-irt install - just remove the type param & it will probably work.
