I am trying to install FC5 xen guests in a FC5 host, but it looks as if
networking fails to come up.
relevant info:
- Centrino M laptop
- install tree is also on laptop
I tried the installtree over NFS and HTTP, with the following commandlines
and
error messages:
xenguest-install.py -n vm1 -f /d/vm/vm1.vmdk -s 2 -r 256 -l
http://192.168.3.35/5 -x "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us ip=192.168.3.39 vnc"
/5/Fedora/base/stage2.img: Failed to connect to HTTP server
and
Unable to retrieve http://192.168.3.35/5/Fedora/base/stage2.img: Failed
(I can wget the file from the host though)
xenguest-install.py -n vm1 -f /d/vm/vm1.vmdk -s 2 -r 256 -l
nfs:192.168.3.35:/data/fc/5/ -x "lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us
ip=192.168.3.39 vnc"
That directory could not be mounted from the server.
in the apache logs, I can see that the host, .35 is downloading
images/xen/vmlinuz and images/xen/initrd.img but there is nothing in the
logs which show that .39 comes up and tries to get stage2.img
I have to assume that the interface in DomU does not come up correctly
and no IP is assigned to this interface. Bridging looks correct:
how
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no peth0
vif0.0
vif1.0
Any ideas on how to fix/troubleshoot this further?
Also, does anyone know how to install off a CD-ROM image? the
file /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py has references to cdrom but I see no
way to point the installer at anything but nfs, ftp or http.
TIA
