This is a bug in the F7 install kernel. When running in nographics mode it still sends boot output to the graphical console instead o the text console. Add '--append console=xvc0' to the virt-install args when doing a nographics install of Fedora 7. FC6/F8 get the text mode stuff right - only F7 is broken in this respect. > > Commands used:- > > /usr/sbin/virt-install --name fx6foo \ > --paravirt \ > --ram 256 \ > --nographics \ > --file-size 10 \ > --file /dev/zulu_images/fx6foo \ > --location > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/ Your VM name is FC6, but you're still pointing at a F7 repo here... > > or > > [root@zulu ~]# virt-install --paravirt \ > > --name fx7template \ > > --ram 256 \ > > --nographics \ > > --file-size 10 \ > > --file /dev/zulu_images/fx7template \ > > --location > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/ > > Typical output:- Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
