I am installing my first xen system (CentOS 5.3). The host system seems to be ok.
I am following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-xen-on-centos-5.2-i386-p2
Now I try to use virt-install to install the first guest system, but I cannot find a working install source.
I have tried at least these:
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/isos/i386/
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/isos/i386/CentOS-5.3-i386-net...
Always I get "Could not find an installable distribution".
What should I use as path?

Thanks, that seems to work. (Funny, I thought I had tried that already.)
Now I get another odd error, though (though maybe temporary):
ValueError: Invalid URL location given: http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386/images/xen/vmlinuz [Errno 14] HTTP Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
...though I can start downloading that file manually in the browser quite ok.
Anyway, I will try that path again another time, let's see.

Try using ftp:// instead.
I think funet is using some fancy http error pages that confuse anaconda.

Hm, not so simple. Now I got the installation (with program virt-install) to begin, but then I would see a dialog screen asking for ftp server, and path containing OS for my architecture. I gave for example the following two values: ftp.funet.fi pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386 (the latter with and without slashes at beginning and end), but always I get the same dialog screen back after a couple of minutes of blank screen. No error messages.
So I am baffled again. Has someone been here before?
I've installed MANY times from ftp.funet.fi using ftp:// (and virt-install or virt-manager). Works for me.
