If I do a install using -p things work great, no issues, have 8+ virtuals created around using para and even on my fully virtual enabled server, I can create a guest without issue using paravirtual.

If i do the same install but use the config switch -v (full virtualization) the install dumps me back saying i can reconnect but I can't.


Attempted creation:

[root at devxen xen]# /usr/bin/virt-install --debug -n trub -r 1000  -m 00:16:3e:41:71:d1 --nographics --os-type=linux --os-variant=fedora6 -l /virtual.img -f /dev/mapper/dev-trub  --noapic --noacpi --arch=i686
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?  This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. y

Domain installation still in progress.  You can reconnect to 
the console to complete the installation process.



[root at devxen xen]# virsh connect trub
libvir: error : could not connect to trub
error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor

[root at devxen xen]# virsh list
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  0 Domain-0             running
  4 trub                 no state

I can't connect or console or anything and I'm only using console access, ssh, serial, no graphical stuff at all.

I must be missing something, just strange. don't see anything in logs, and my remote install is showing that it's getting to installing some boel binaries and nothing else.

What's so different about paravirt and fullvirt?

Thanks
Tory
