I could write a loooong response about what went wrong with your install, but to be honest a lot of things could cause that. And you didn't exactly give much helpful information (like what the contents of vm01-config.sxp is). As for virt-install and virt-manager, I'm guessing both failed because somehow your xen network config is messed up that the domU can't connect to the mirror site. Another point to consider is that Centos/RHEL5 is actively maintained while Fedora 8 has reached EOL and Fedora 9/10 doesn't support xen dom0. Considering all that, the fastest route would be to start from scratch with RHEL/Centos 5.2 or 5.3, selecting "Virtualization" package from start. Note that you should start with AT LEAST Centos 5.2, as there have been lots of bug fixes (including xen-related ones) after the initial 5.0 release. With the default installation, the Virtualization Guide should be able to help you get a domU running with minimum effort. This howto should also do the same thing http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen If you were an experienced sysadmin I could give you a different advice :) > and am worried about facing similar system problems again.

If you're in a "I must get this to work no matter what" situation then its probably to find help from your local sysadmins to give you hands-on support. Mailing lists aren't exactly a replacement for good technical support. > Is there an active community around > using Centos/RHEL which can help me?

And probably because you're asking about basic things already covered in existing documentation, so the common response would be "RTFM" Regards, Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
