Sorry to bump my own thread, but does anyone have any ideas about this?
I've now tried virtually every combination of options in virt-manager and virt-install, and nothing seems to avoid this error (or let me get beyond the networking screen in virt-manager).
Has anyone encountered anything like this before?
Thanks,
Graeme

Hi there, I've been happily installing VMs in CentOS 5.2's Xen implementation using virt-manager. However, my latest attempt to use the install wizard in virt-manager failed when I got to the networking screen. The 'forward' button was unresponsive, and I was unable to proceed. I checked the virt-manager logs, and saw this appearing immediately after I tried to proceed:
/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log:

There was also a lot of this in the main system log (1-2 messages per second): [Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] DEBUG (connection:580) Couldn't fetch domain id 3; it probably went away
So I tried to use virt-install on the shell instead, but got much the same error:
[root@optimus swadmin]# virt-install --hvm --name=zurich.gcal.ac.uk --ram=2048 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/zurich.gcal.ac.uk.img --vnc --vcpus=2 --cdrom=/home/swadmin/software/OpenSolaris/sol-nv-b93-x86-dvd.iso --network=bridge:xenbr0

If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk'; otherwise, please restart your installation.

It suggests I try to start the domain anyway, but it hasn't been created: [root@optimus swadmin]# virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName error: failed to get domain 'zurich.gcal.ac.uk'
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
