Hi,
I've just installed an centos 5.2 with all the updates 'till now. Next i've
tried the following install script that worked fine:
virt-install -n test -r 512 --vnc --file=/dev/VolGroup00/test-os --
location=ftp://mirrors/centos/5/os/i386 -x 'text'
Next i've rebuild rpm of libvirt to libvirt-0.6.1 (using --with-rhel5-api).
The rpm build fine and installed without any errors. Next i've retried the
virt-install script but i get the following error:
[root@localhost ~]# virt-install -n test -r 512 --vnc --
file=/dev/VolGroup00/test-os --location=ftp://mirrors/centos/5/os/i386 -x
'text'
Starting install...

Yes I'm seeing this too on 0.6.1 on RHEL-5.3, I'm trying to chase it
down, it's a bit hard to find out where the memory corruption occurs.
I've memtested the memory and its fine. If i use a file as the
target (instead
of a block device) it also works:
virt-install -n test -r 512 --vnc --file=/tmp/test-os --file-size=2 --
location=ftp://mirrors/centos/5/os/i386
yes I get the crash with a file based target too.
I'm investigating ...
