Hi,
I am trying to create a virtual machine with FC6 inside a Centos 5 (beta) Xen host. I am following the documentation of Fedora[1].
I used the "virt-install" command, and every went fine until the moment to create the partitions on the virtual disk (file "/var/xen/fc6.iso" with 10GB). No matter with option I choose: remove all partitions, remove linux partitions, use free space, etc, does not work. The message is: "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on wihich to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem."
The documentation seems so straightforward!
Any hint or comment will be welcomed.
Cheers
Marcelo
Hey Marcelo,
Do not expect to get a lot of help here about Xen. So far I have seen three post about Xen on the beta release and no (zero) replies. Either those who have success are not talking or nobody has had any success, I suspect the latter with the beta release. Just have to wait for the final release. I would suggest that you spend some time with the manuals, as that seems to be the only source for answers.

Even better, Marc should hie himself off to https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen and sign himself up for the aid program:-)
That's where the experts and triers hang out.

My $0.02: to date, I've had so much better luck with running Debian as both dom0 and domU hosts that I haven't put much time into researching it on CentOS. debootstrap is lean and clean. My admittedly fewer attempts to bootstrap rpm-based systems have been much more difficult.
