Dan, Thanks for the response. I changed my command to: virt-install --name=fc6g3 --ram=512 --vcpus=1 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/fc6g3.img --file-size=5 --paravirt --location=<a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os"> http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os</a> --vnc But, I get the same error. I then disabled SELinux and still got the same error. Do you know of any working tutorials on this? I have looked at: <a href="https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-chapter-from-fedora-core-6-unleashed.html">https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-chapter-from-fedora-core-6-unleashed.html</a> <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6"> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6</a> They both are short on details.

SELinux policy requires disk images to be in either /xen (for legacy compat), or /var/lib/xen/images (current preferred). If you really really want to keep disk images elsewhere, then you need to add the extra directory to the policy & make sure its labelled, eg To add to policy: semanage fcontext --add -t xen_image_t '/home/admin/xen(/.*)?' And then to label the dir: restorecon /home/admin/xen Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/">http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/</a> -=| |=- Projects: <a href="http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/">http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ </a> -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| </blockquote></div> -- Bill Zingler Zingler & Associates, Inc.
