... I'm trying to install my first VM using Centos 5.5 as the host as well as the VM OS. It starts fine using VMM, but when it asks for the second disk of 8 CDs, the first one isn't ejected, although unmounted because I can open the tray, and won't recognize that the second CD is inserted. ...
Why not use a DVD image in /var/lib/xen/images?
Or better, setup a local mirror using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror
Then create your CentOS DomU with something like:
virt-install --name=<VMName> --vnc --vncport=59xx --noautoconsole --paravirt --ram=512 --vcpus=1 --network=bridge:<network bridge device> --file=<virtual disk device> --location=<mirror URL> --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5 --extra-args="xencons=tty noipv6"
