Hi

I m trying to install a full virtualized guest on my dell poweredge 1950 with centos 5.1 64 bits. I just launched the following command

virt-install -n elaphe -r 4096 -f /var/lib/xen/images/elaphe -s 40 -b vlanbr15 --hvm

Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) yes What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location? /var/lib/xen/F-7-i386-DVD.iso

Starting install... Creating storage file... 100% |=========================| 40 GB 00:00 Creating domain... 0 B 00:00
