Yes, I saw your other e-mail too, but I'm afraid I can't help much as I
always have:
- used xl only, when building Xen from sources,
- used Fedora Xen packages only, when using libvirt stuff
I just want to get couple of DomUs running, that is all. I'm not particular about which tool I use.
Virt-manager seemed easier/quicker, hence I picked that.
I did some reading on configuring DomUs using xl/xm and cfg files.
So basically I create the cfg file, and do "xm/xl create xmf16install -c"
This is one of my cfg files.
name="xmf16install"
memory=2048
vcpus=1
disk=['phy:/dev/xenvg/xmf16lvm,xvda,w']
vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]
kernel = "/home/fedora16pxe/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/home/fedora16pxe/initrd.img"
_onreboot_ = 'restart'
_oncrash_ = 'restart'
The CentOS/Fedora installers are being launched, but I think I am running into a problem when the installers ask for HTTP location from where to pickup the images for install. I got different kinds of errors each time (I tried multiple installations (F15,16, F17, CentOS5).
Some of the errors I got from the anaconda installers were
(F12, CentOS5)

I am guessing there is a problem when it tries to connect to the internet to download packages.
I have also attached my domU cfg file for reference in the email.
Could someone point out where am I going wrong ?
I just want to get couple of DomUs working and this is proving tougher than I thought. :(
Is there something wrong with my cfg files. Or is something else the issue here ?

>I see... Just shooting in the dark here, and forgive me if it's a stupid
question, but is libvirtd running?
Yes, it is.

>As I said, I'm really short in ideas/experience, sorry. Something I
would probably try is:
- uninstalling your built version of Xen
- installing Fedora 17's Xen packages
- try libvirt with them
This was what I tried initially. Regular F17, then yum install Xen, and Virt-manager just worked out of the box for me, and I was able to create DomUs.
Sorry, I just seem to be running into multiple issues with this! Kindly help.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
If all else fails, I am willing to start with a fresh install of F18 as Dom0 and try to install Xen from source on that. Would this help ? I remember you telling me F18 with Xen 4.2 working well with the Virt-tools.
