I have reinstalled 4 seperate time using different media...I have taken all the yum updates and of course am running the latest xen kernel. during setup I bypassed lvm and simly set up a partition (hda3) and mounted it as /xenpartition. now I follow my books instructions (fedora 6 bible) and it says start virt-manager and enter a name..I call it xenmachine1. then I give it half my ram (500mb). then I specify hda3 as the partition. I then put in the following web address for the install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ore/6/i386/os/

within seconds the install fails giving various error messages. I am no smartypants but I am following the directions to a tee and have a working internet connection..so whats the heck is up? I have wasted bout 2 days doing reinstalls etc thinking I am doing something wrong but I am beginning to think either my book is wrong or worse...I am an idiot

here are the messages from my xend.log showing my latest failed attempt...I have no idea what any of this means
