Hi Daniel,
I tried to install the following RPMs:
xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-devel-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-libs-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
They got installed successfully. But while trying to install xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
I get the dependency problem : error: Failed dependencies:
python-virtinst is needed by xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386
I am not sure which rpm to install for this . Also I am not finding the proper RPM for virt-manager,virt-install.
Are they present in the server image or client image?
Regards
Dushmanta

You've missing the 'xen' RPM in that list. Also recommend installing
the virt-manager RPM

That is because you only installed the Xen kernel - you need the 'xen'
RPM from RHEL-5 to get the userspace
tools

Dan.
