Hello!
I have Fedora Unity 8 (20071218) x86_64 running in an Athlon 64 (512 RAM) with xen. I'm using the re-spin version because I need kickstart install to be done from CD/DVD. I'm using this machine with small RAM for tests only.
When I try to install the domU using virt-manager, it hangs when I click the first next button after anaconda installer started. The button stays pressed an nothing happens.
When I try to install the domU using virt-install, it gives a black screen after starting anaconda installer. # virt-install -n myguest -r 256 --vnc -l ftp://10.1.121.201/ -x ks=ftp://10.1.121.201/guest.cfg -f /dev/vgadm/lvadm1
The ftp server is the dom0
xen-libs-3.1.0-13.fc8 kernel-xen-2.6.21-2952.fc8 xen-3.1.0-13.fc8 libvirt-0.3.3-2.fc8 virt-manager-0.5.2-2.fc8 virt-viewer-0.0.2-2.fc8
With Fedora Unitity 8 for i386 everything goes fine.
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Augusto
Some corrections about my problem:
When I try to install the domU using virt-manager, it hangs when I click the first next button after anaconda installer started. The button stays pressed an nothing happens.
When I install without kickstart it hangs in the "next" button, independent of using virt-manager or virt-install.
When I try to install the domU using virt-install, it gives a black screen after starting anaconda installer.
The black screen happens when I use kickstart.

Augusto

You really do not have enough RAM; I think the minimum for F8 is 512 Mbytes.
Since xen and KVM both require real RAM, and since F8 generally doesn't perform all that well in 512 Mbytes I suggest you add a bit.
My F8 test box has 2 Gbytes, and I'm contemplating removing half that and adding a pair of 2 Gbyte sticks.
