[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler-0.6.5-3.el4 - xen virt trouble

[Tom Brown]

Hi

I am still having issues trying to get xen based VM's running, here is 
what i have done so far.

Have cobbler build a x86_64 machine with the xen kernel etc 2.6.18-53.el5xen

Create a xen based profile so that i can install a xen system

cobbler profile add --name=RHEL4-u5-xen-i386 --distro=RHEL4-u5-xen-i386 
--kickstart=/etc/cobbler/kickstart_RHEL4-u5-xen-i386.ks

Then create a system in cobbler to use this profile

cobbler system add --name=virtbox --hostname=virtbox --ip=192.168.28.247 
--subnet=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.12.2 --profile=RHEL4-u5-xen-i386

Then on the machine that i built using cobbler use koan to do the following

koan --virt --server=192.168.12.161 --system=virtbox

This appears to work fine

use virt-manager or reconnect with virsh console virtbox

as i can see that the virt box is created but it only ever shows as 
'blocked'

# virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # list

  0 Domain-0             running
  4 virtbox              blocked

Any ideas here to what i am doing wrong?

thanks
