Hi, all, I'm not seeing disks under CentOS 6 when trying to install. I'm using: xen-4.0.2-1.fc14.x86_64 2.6.32.39-175.xendom0.fc13.x86_64 installing using: virt-install --debug -n sully --mac=02:00:0A:01:01:10 -f /var/lib/xen/images/sully -s 12 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --nographics -p --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --location http://librescu.bfccomputing.com/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos6-x86_64/ It sounded like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678374 so I tried dropping the --nonsparse option, but I'm using a newer version of python-virtinstall: python-virtinst-0.500.6-1.fc14.noarch than should be required, and I'm seeing this with and with the option anyway. I do see the disk image is created, and attached to the DomU. e.g.: [2011-07-26 01:01:47 18534] DEBUG (DevController:97) DevController: writing {'domain': 'sully', 'frontend': '/local/domain/18/device/vbd/51712', 'uuid': '3380cea8-a322-292d-cc5d-8bb084306976', 'bootable': '1', 'dev': 'xvda', 'state': '1', 'params': 'aio:/var/lib/xen/images/sully', 'mode': 'w', 'online': '1', 'frontend-id': '18', 'type': 'tap'} to /local/domain/0/backend/tap/18/51712. and I can see the disk image if I dump configuration from virsh. I do see this in the DomU kernel messages: XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51712 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0 but I see reports online that say not to worry about those, initrd will load the modules. The initrd does have: ./kernel/drivers/xen ./kernel/drivers/xen/xenfs ./kernel/drivers/net/xen-netfront.ko.gz ./kernel/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.ko.gz on it. I tried adding: xen_emul_unplug=never to the kernel parameters per a previous thread here, but that didn't seem to change anything. It seems like others are having success with CentOS 6 in general: http://grantmcwilliams.com/tech/virtualization/xen-howtos/538-centos-6-virtual-machine-64-bit-installation-on-xen so I suspect it's got something to do with Xen 4.0.2, but I'm not sure where to look right now.
