Re: Unable to get working guest on FC6

Dan,

Thanks for the response.  I changed my command to:

virt-install --name=fc6g3 --ram=512 --vcpus=1 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/fc6g3.img --file-size=5 --paravirt --location= http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os --vnc

But, I get the same error.  I then disabled SELinux and still got the same error.

Do you know of any working tutorials on this?  I have looked at:
https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-chapter-from-fedora-core-6-unleashed.html
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6
They both are short on details.

Thanks,

Bill

If you have SELinux enabled, then this will fail because the disk image is
under in a permitted directory. SELinux policy requires disk images to be
in either /xen (for legacy compat), or /var/lib/xen/images (current preferred).

If you really really want to keep disk images elsewhere, then you need to
add the extra directory to the policy & make sure its labelled, eg

To add to policy:

    semanage fcontext --add -t xen_image_t '/home/admin/xen(/.*)?'

And then to label the dir:

    restorecon /home/admin/xen

Regards,
Dan.
