I've tried that too, and even though I wasn't very clear about it in my original email, it's what I used for the CentOS 5 domU installs. Anyway, for Fedora 8, that base USL makes virt-install bomb out even harder: [root at xenmaster apcupsd]# virt-install -p -n krs -r 512 -m 00:16:3E:66:94:5F -b xenbr0 --vnc --vncport=5910 -l http://10.19.75.200/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os -f /dev/vg00/krs -d Starting install...
