<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have created sucessfully a fully virtualized guest OS (RHEL 5) using virt-install.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I used a custom ISO image as the source to boot from.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It works.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Then I try to creating a second fully virtualized OS (RHEL 5) as above using the same method using virt-install.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">During the creation of the second guest OS's HDD image file, it caused the host (the physical machine) RHEL 5 to reboot.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I also try using virt-manager to create the second fully virtualized OS. The procedure also caused the physical machine to reboot.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have attached the various files for your reference.</FONT>
