Hi, I'm trying to install a CentOS 5.2 guest with virt-manager/qemu on a CentOS 5.2 system (X86_x64, 3ware 9650SE, 2 x Intel VT capable xeon cpus, 8 GB) Unfortunately I'm getting a crash in the guest install process. (see crash text below). Other systems are installing smoothely, even Windows xp, but the above combination won't install (5.2/5.2). What works well: CentOS 5.2 xen unmodified (i.e. fully virtual) guest, but no luck with qemu/kvm. Here's what I already tried, all without success: * kernel-xen kernel from centosplus * this kernel: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel/5/bz443853/x86_64/ * installed a minimal 5.1 * updated the 5.1 with Johnny's kernel * updated the 5.1 with yum update Have you got any idea on how I can get this installed? TIA Regards Michael PS: Here's the crash, I hope I typed everything right. ;-) (I didn't want to bother you with a gif). I couldn't get further up in order to grab more from the screen. Shift -PgUp doesn't work.
