[Xen-users] Installing via kickstart over NFS "Invalid file location given: No such file ordirectory"

[Tim Edwards <tedwards@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install a domU over kickstart using NFS (both to retrieve
the kickstart file and to retrieve the install tree). I've tried a few
different variations of the below command:
virt-install --name sl43test --ram 4050 --file=/disk/sl43test.img
--file-size=120 --os-variant=rhel4 --vnc
--location=nfs://1.1.1.1:/monitorfs/operations/mirror/sl43/i386/ -x
"text nfs:1.1.1.1:/monitorfs/operations/etc/kickstart.cfg/acinst4.ks
ip=1.1.1.3 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=1.1.1.254 dns=1.1.1.10"

The error I get is:
Invalid file location given: No such file or directory
Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start sl43test'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
