[Xen-users] Failure in creating PV guest VM

["Jihed M'selmi" <jihed.mselmi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I tried to install a pv guest ubuntu by netinstall (see below) on a xen host (centos6.3 + XEN4.2)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p /var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot cd /var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot sudo wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz sudo wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz

Set up the initial guest configuration: /etc/xen/ubuntu.cfg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
name = "ubuntu"

memory = 512

disk = ['phy:/dev/xen_vms/ubuntu,xvda,w']
vif = [' ']

kernel = "/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-netboot/initrd.gz"
extra = "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[root@mypc ~]# xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/ubuntu".
Started domain ubuntu (id=2)

                            [root@mypc ~]# 

Then, nothing appeared and not installation went in progress.

I checked the xend-debug.log and found this error:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/socket.py", line 197, in accept
    sock, addr = self._sock.accept()
error: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Any thoughts about this ? Is there any way to see the monitor the creation process ?

Thx & best Regards
