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'

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 ... Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
