"Unable to complete install:'Capacity must be a positive number'
The above captioned is what I get when I click on "finish" using virt-manager to do a network install of a vm from an apache server I set up on my SL6 box. Never had any problems with vm's I installed by hand using KVM. Am using an anaconda-ks.cfg from a previous vm I recently installed. I think my question is 'capacity of what?' I looked at my kickstart file and could not see exactly what needs to be changed if anything! Seems I have plenty of space in /var/lib/libvirt/images. So where else can I look to change something?

Reason: clarity
Are you doing a 32 bit install on a 64 bit machine or similar? The message sounds like a integer rollover and some dumb script thinks it has gone negative.
Are you using a very ancient version of virt-manager? Because I can't seem to find this particular error in the latest git pull. However, I found it here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/et-mg.../msg00235.html, which is way way back. So, it seems it has something to do with the storagepool. Try updating your virt-manager.
