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".
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...
Your VM name is FC6, but you're still pointing at a F7 repo here...
or
[root@zulu ~]# virt-install --paravirt \

Typical output:-
