Hi,

I have a FC6 machine:

Linux wast.sitepen.com 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen #1 SMP Wed May 16 18:37:05
EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have several guests running, including FC6, Windows Server 2003, and
CentOS5.

I want to install a FC7 guest but when I run the following virt-install
command the installation freezes:

virt-install --nographics --name=skeggles
--file=/dev/vg_guests/lv_skeggles --ram=512
--location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/x86_64/os/
--extra-args="ip=172.29.172.50 netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=172.29.172.1 dns=192.168.2.203,192.168.2.204
ks=http://dev.robinbowes.com/kickstart/sitepen/skeggles-FC7.cfg"

It boots into the FC7 install but only gets as far as:

Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 938k

Then it hangs.

Any idea what's up?

R.
