Hi,

i'm using virt-install and it runs successfully with that command:

virt-install -n xengrid2 --vcpus=1 -r 256 -s 4 -f
/media/disk/iso/xengrid/xengrid2 -l
ftp://mirrors.hpcf.upr.edu/pub/Mirrors/redhat/download.fedora.redhat.com/6/i386/os
-p --nographics

now, i have a question. What's the kernel image and initrd file used for
virt-install in order to carry out the installation process? I need that
information because i want use the cobbler/koan tools in order to
provision virtual machines remotely, but when i submit the command

koan --virt --server=136.145.116.114 --profile="xentemplate-profile"

i got that:

 It appears the installation has crashed

i'm using the kernel used by domain0 in my machine.
