[Xen-users] virt-install error

[Pascal <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

We use the default centos5 xen package

We'd like to create a centos4.5 guest


As we don't have the CD we ask for an http install

Here is how we launched virt-install and the error it returned

------------------
# virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?  This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. no
 What is the name of your virtual machine? centos45
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 512
 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /dev/xenvps/centos45
 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
 What is the install location? http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CentOS/4.5/os/i386/

Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (22, 'Invalid argument')")
Failed to create domain centos45
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 447, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 411, in main
    dom = guest.start_install(conscb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtGuest.py", line 220, in start_install
    return XenGuest.XenGuest.start_install(self, consolecb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 367, in start_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(cxml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 249, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed
------------------

Hmm maybe we can't define a http location ? in this case how could we do without the cd ?

Thanks
Pascal
