I'm only stating the rpm differences, not the stage2/initrd ones.

Hello,

I've used pungi with the following configuration:

repo --name=centos-base --baseurl=ftp://mirrors/centos/6/os/x86_64 --cost=1 -- excludepkgs=qemu-kvm repo --name=centos-updates --baseurl=ftp://mirrors/centos/6/updates/x86_64 -- cost=1 --excludepkgs=qemu-kvm repo --name=xen4centos -- baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/xen4/x86_64/ --cost=1

%packages @base @core @system-admin-tools anaconda

# some default stuff that we don't want -pm-utils # to avoid HAL etc. -kexec-tools # to avoid failing kdump init script %end

to create an ISO to install centos+xen from start. The 3.4 kernel gets included fine in the cdrom. When i try to install the ISO it freezes after anaconda starts graphical mode. I can't move the mouse, change to other VT, etc. If i install it using text mode or vnc mode it works fine. If i try the graphical safe mode (VESA) it also freezes.

If i ommit the centos xen repository graphical installation works fine.

I think that is a kernel related issue. Maybe some kernel build option? Does anyone have any ideas? Did someone tried this build?

Thanks, Nuno Fernandes

Just for the record, i've found the problem. It's in a config option of the kernel for xen4linux.

Bug open at http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6619

Johnny, can you please check this?
