Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and Alt-F3 showed a message about dropping to a serial console due to lack of memory, so I tried it again with this command line: sudo virt-install -n hockey -r 512 -f /var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img -s 4 --vnc -l http://192.168.1.117/mirror/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/ Password: Starting install... libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByUUID Retrieving file fedora.cs 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 Retrieving file vmlinuz.. 100% |=========================| 1.8 MB 00:00 Retrieving file initrd.im 100% |=========================| 5.6 MB 00:00 libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName Creating storage file... 100% |=========================| 4.0 GB 00:00 Creating domain... 0 B 00:00 VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X - built Jul 18 2006 06:59:52 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.

You can reconnect to the console to complete the installation process. and a dialog box with the same message: unable to resolve host by name: Success (0) popped up on my workstation. Despite that, Virtual Machine Manager was able to open it, so I see the Anaconda window. Most of the console windows are blank, but a screenshot of Alt-F3 is attached, in hopes someone can interpret it with more success than I've had.

Since the messaging for stage2.img is the same, it looks as though that was also successful and the hang up is in the next item. Not having seen it, I'm pretty vague on what it is or why it might fail. I didn't check Alt-F4, as that causes the window to go away (on Windows XP), is it likely to be interesting? If so, is there an alternate way to get at it? Continued thanks!

The web server (192.168.1.117) had SELinux in "Secure" mode, so I changed it to "Permissive" mode. I don't think SELinux is started on the system being installed, but if someone knows how to set or confirm that, I'd be happy to be corrected. I'm not finicky about the path where the file lives, so I tried it with /var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img. The symptom is unchanged: stuck at minstg2.img. The revised command line is: sudo virt-install -n hockey -r 256 -f /var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img -s 4 --nographics --noautoconsole -l http://192.168.1.117/mirror/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/ Thanks!

Uh, I must have somehow missed that you used virt-manager, not virt-install. Telling us exactly how you interact with either is fine. Telling us how you run virt-install is easier, though. > Trying virt-install, this is what my session looked like: > > sudo virt-install -n hockey -r 256 -f /xen/fedora/hockey.img -s 4 > --nographics --noautoconsole -l > http://192.168.1.117/mirror/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/ > Password: This is an unusual image location.
