 restart your installation.
Greetings community,

I run virt-install to create a new domain, and after answering the
questions it asks, it throws this error :

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:22:47 ERROR    Could not find an installable

I have manged to install from this way before (once), but now it is refusing.

Any ideas on what I should be looking for to fix the problem.
I have chmod`d the directories containing the iso file to 777, I have
placed just the directory location (without the .iso file) and still
nothing.

Any suggestions or pointers to online references to fix this would be
highly appreciated.
