I get an error while installing VM Guest (Fedora Linux) on
Xen.
The command used to install the VM guest is “virt-install --accelerate -p --arch x86 --ram 350
--vcpus 2 --name xvm2”
The error log looks like this.

Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your
domain
by running 'virsh start xvm2'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

What could be wrong with the installation?
Any help would be
appreciated.
