[Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta - domU boot: unable to retrieve network based images

["Joe Linoff" <jlinoff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks:

 

Please help if you can. I am stuck. I am trying to do a network based install of a CentOS 5.5 (64 bit) image using XCP 1.0 and got this error:

 

 

I have verified that the network images can be accessed on other hosts. Then I tried doing the same install with XCP 0.5 and got the same error which means that I am probably missing some simple, fundamental step. Maybe I am using the wrong UUID in one of the steps.

 

Here is what I did to create the VM. What am I doing wrong? Please note that this work was done on a master (10.45.2.1) that communicates with the XCP host (10.45.2.100).
