Hi, I'm trying to install Fedora 13 as a virtual machine, but failed. The host system is RHEL 5.4 Server with Xen. I have several other virtual machines already, but when it comes to Fedora, it always reports 'Could not find an installable distribution'.
Here are the details when creating the new VM thru GUI (virt-manager 0.6.1):
Virtualization Method: Paravirtualized
Install media: Network Install Tree (HTTP, FTP, or NFS)
OS Type/Variant: Generic/Generic
(also tried Linux/Fedora 12)
Installation Media URL: /var/ftp/pub/Fedora_13_x86_64_DVD/
(I had already `cp -r` the DVD disc content to the above location)
Storage: Block Device: /dev/sda10
(The partition is ready and empty, and partprobe'd)
Network: Shared Physical Device: peth0 (Bridge xenbr0)
Memory: 1024MB/1024MB
CPU: 1
and then it reports:
Code:
Unable to complete install 'exceptions.ValueError Could not find an installable distribution at '/var/ftp/pub/Fedora_13_x86_64_DVD/'

The same error occurs at installing Fedora 12 as VM too.
What do I need? Please. Thanks.
