[Fedora-xen] FC5 Xen Guest install failed

[Guillaume Menguy]

Problem solved.
 
Same problem as "SIGSEGV on xenguest-install.py" topic.
 
I solved it by running the HTTP source server on another machine. Using the
dom0 itself crashed the installation process just after the IP
configuration.
Did anyone else encounter the same problem ? Maybe the Wiki should be
updated... 
Thanks,
 
Guillaume

Howdy -

I had a similar problem and fixed it by changing '-l http://sitename' to '-l
http://1.2.3.4' (i.e., the IP address for sitename).  It was almost like the
installer couldn't look up sitename once the networking was started, and
failed badly as a result.

Hi,
 
Strictly following the FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 wiki
(http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5
<http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5> ), I get blocked
at the following step :
 
/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py -n fc5template -f /xenimg/fc5template -s 6 -r
512 -l http://xen1
The installation starts and a few seconds after the network configuration, I
get :
 
loader received SIGSEGV!.  Backtrace:
[0x8049865]

[0x8063ca0]
[0x805e5e1]

[0x8048131]

you may safely reboot your system
If your install has exited, you can restart your guest by running
'xm create -c fc5template'.  Otherwise, you can reconnect to the console
by running 'xm console fc5template'

xend.log says :
...
[2006-04-03 16:23:35 xend] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception looking up device
number for xvda: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/xvda'
...
 
I tried on another server with a new install : same problem. Server has 2 Gb
RAM and enouth disk space.
Thanks for any help.
