[Fedora-xen] Newby Help

[Walter Coole]

The originating host (where I'm running virt-install) has SELinux in
"Permissive" mode.  The web server (192.168.1.117) had SELinux in
"Secure" mode, so I changed it to "Permissive" mode.  I don't think
SELinux is started on the system being installed, but if someone knows
how to set or confirm that, I'd be happy to be corrected.  I'm not
finicky about the path where the file lives, so I tried it with
/var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img.  The symptom is unchanged: stuck at
minstg2.img.

The revised command line is:

sudo virt-install -n hockey -r 256 -f /var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img -s
4 --nographics --noautoconsole -l
http://192.168.1.117/mirror/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/

Thanks!
Walter

Uh, I must have somehow missed that you used virt-manager, not
virt-install.  Telling us exactly how you interact with either is
fine.  Telling us how you run virt-install is easier, though.

This is an unusual image location.  Is SELinux enabled?  Does
/var/lib/xen/images/hockey.img work?
