how to install FC3/RH9 in FC6 Xen???

vhmtai · 01-02-2007, 07:49 AM

I am a newbie in Xen and I have a problem in installing a different guest OS. My Dom 0 is FC6 and I successfully installed and ran a guest OS of FC6 by using virt-install. When I wanted to install another guest OS, ie, RH9 using the same method, it responded: ERROR: Invalid NFS location givenL [Errno 2] No such fle or directory: '/var/lib/xen....../xen/vmlinuz.
What should I do to make it happen? Thanks.

You can install guest operating system using virtual machine manager.It accepts installation via CD/DVD or ISO image.
Application -> tool -> VMM -> connect -> new

Thanks. I did it through CLI and mount the ISO image as what I did when I instal the FC6 guest domain. But I got the above errors when I use a FC3 or RH9 ISO. Do you know why? Thanks.

There should not be any problem with that. Have you got enough free RAM and hard drive ?

??? Using SATA drive ???

I don't think it is related to the Hard drive nor amount of memory since I can successfully installed a guest FC6 OS using CLI. The captioned error only happened when I installed a different OS other than FC6 as a guest domain. FYI, my domain0 is also a FC6.
