RE: [Xen-users] Unable to create virtual systems

[GeoffSweet <geoff.sweet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So I tried to take a different stab at this.  I have created a Volume Group 
called VG1, and within it I created a logical volume called web1.  So it sits 
at /dev/VG1/web1

This is what I get:

sudo virt-install -r 1024 --file=/dev/VG1/web1 -v 
--location=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/i386 --name=web1
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no

Starting install...
Retrieving file CentOS...                                | 472 kB     00:01
Retrieving file boot.iso...                              |  8.3 MB     00:20

and that's it... it just hangs there.

The logs in /var/log/xen/xend.log say this for the entire session:
