Hi all

I am getting the following output when i try to use virt-install

I have attached the full back trace if anyone is interested Any suggestions ?

I'd definitely be interested in the full stacktrace. Also does this occur with the latest releases (ie. enable the development repo): # rpm -qa | grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.21-2949.fc8 kernel-xen-2.6.21-2942.fc8 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.21-2942.fc8 xen-libs-3.1.0-12.fc8 xen-debuginfo-3.1.0-5.fc8 xen-devel-3.1.0-12.fc8 xen-3.1.0-12.fc8 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.21-2949.fc8 (FYI, virt-install runs fine on the above machine). If you want to pursue this further, then compiling libvirt with the --enable-debug=yes option produces a lot of interesting debugging output, and will allow us to see what actual libvirt calls are being made, plus arguments. ./autogen.sh --enable-debug=yes --prefix=$HOME/local make all install LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib virt-install Rich. -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.
