Hey guys, First post and apologies if this has been up OT before. virt-install fails to create a domU for FC6/7. Distro of node is BLAG, an FC derivative. Just jump to the end to the end of the boot up message to see where the domU hangs. /var/log/xen/xend.log indicate no warnings or explanations why this domain has failed to be "born".
