It hasn't hung - its merely sending console output somewhere you can't
see it. Basically its supposed to send it to both text console (xvc)
and the grpahical console, but only sends it to the latter. Since you
used --nographics, you thus see nothing.
IIRC, you can add this arg to virt-install to workaround it:
-x "console=xvc0"
OK, I'm now trying the same install on a different FC6 box:
Linux
slippy.robinbowes.com 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen #1 SMP Wed May 16
19:19:04 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
i.e. this is i386 not x86_64
I've used this command to start the install:
virt-install --nographics --name=test --file=/dev/vg_host/lv_test
--ram=512
--location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
--extra-args="ip=192.168.1.110 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1
dns=192.168.1.60
ks=http://dev.robinbowes.com/kickstart/misc/test-FC7.cfg console=xvc0"
I now get this output:
=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen #1
---------------------------------------------------------
loader/206 just changed the state of lock:
(&np->rx_lock){-...}, at: [<e115da6c>] network_open+0x28/0x83 [xennet]
but this lock was taken by another, hard-irq-safe lock in the past:
(&np->tx_lock){+...}
... plus a load of further memory information.
Installation seems to continue, but then stops. The last output seems to be:
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
I don't see anything in the logs.
Any more ideas?
