[Fedora-xen] Error creating domain in RHEL5 dom0_min_mem

[Deependra Shekhawat]

Okay. I got the last error about *hotplug scripts not working* fixed. What I
figured out was that whenever I tried to create a new VM using virt-install
the network device it was looking was xenbr0 which was not present at that
time. The reason for that was I was using eth1 (for my wireless) and at that
time xenbr1 was present. I don't know why virt-install always try to use
xenbr0 when it should use the one which is available that is xenbr1 in this
case. Well I disabled my wireless and used my ethernet (eth0) and rebooted.
It started out.
Now I am having a problem while installing the domU. It hangs during the
installation process where it says
"Starting install process. This may take several minutes to start" (this
comes when I am finished up with all my stuff).
I don't know the reason why it is coming. Is it because I am using a nfs
source. nfs:192.168.2.31:/dvd/actual. Also note here that I have mounted my
RHEL5-Client dvd on /dvd/actual. Well I have tried both ways GUI and console
and all the time it hangs during this process. I don't think it's a problem
of my nfs otherwise it would have not reached till here.
If there is a solution to the above problem it's really appreicated.
Otherwise if someone can tell me how do I boot from iso image using
virt-install it will also be helpful.

Looking forward for a quick reply.

Regards
