I'm having difficulties getting Xen to run on Fedora 6 64-bit. The host
system is a dual core opteron server with 1gb of ram. This server does
not have X installed and is only reachable via ssh, so any graphical
tools can't be used.
I have the following installed
xen-3.0.3-9
libvirt-0.3.1-1
kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.3001
The xen kernel loads fine:
Linux removed.removed.com 2.6.20-1.3001.fc6xen #1 SMP Thu Aug 9 16:18:42
EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and domU is up and running:
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 723 2 r----- 30.9
When i use virt-install i get the following
virt-install --nographic
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)? This will allow
you to run unmodified operating systems. yes
What is the name of your virtual machine? ostrich
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)?
/usr/virtualServers/ostrich.iso
How large would you like the disk (/usr/virtualServers/ostrich.iso) to
be (in gigabytes)? 4
What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location?

Starting install...

Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to
the console to complete the installation process.
At this point I get dumped back to a command prompt. If i try to
reconnect to the console, I get:
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
I have no idea what to do from this point. I have checked log files
however I can't find what's wrong. xend.log shows

I've spent three days with this and I haven't been able to find any
help. I've found a lot of hints but nothing has worked. If someone can
offer some assistance I'd greatly appreciate it!
