[Fedora-xen] Unable to get working guest on FC6

[Bill Zingler]

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=
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os --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:
https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-chapter-from-fedora-core-6-unleashed.html
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6
They both are short on details.

Thanks,

Bill
