[Fedora-xen] Problem Installing Fedora 7 as a Guest on Xen machine

[Kaloyan Tenchov]

Hello,

You do not specify your exact problem with the installation.

Are you using the kernel and initrd from the images/xen/ directory of
the Fedora 7 installation tree? If so, most probably your guest is
running ok and the Anaconda loader has started and is waiting for
input on the guest's local console.

The local console is differrent from the serial console accessed by
"xm console" and it is a new feature in Xen 3.1 and Fedora 7.

The guests now have a "real" monitor which can be accessed remotely
by VNC. This VNC server is not the Anaconda VNC server for network
installation of Fedora that you are trying to start with the "vnc",
"vncpassword", and "vncconnect" kernel options. It is started by xend
on the Xen host.

Have a look at all vnc related configuration variables by issuing "xm
create --help_config".

Try to configure and connect to the guests's monitor and see if
Anaconda is running and waiting for some user input.

Have in mind that there are problems related to VNC network
installations of Fedora 7:
