Then back in my terminal the typical anaconda installer shows up and all is fine. == fc6 domU serial console == Bootdata ok (command line is dhcp method=http://ks/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64) Linux version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen (brewbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:59:01 EDT 2006 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 0000000040800000 (usable) No mptable found.
