Hi, I'm having trouble installing a fedora f20 guest on a centos5
host, I previously had a working f16 guest, so I guess I want to
know if this is possible or not.
virt-install seems to work ok as before, but then the reboot
fails with this error:
Error starting domain: POST operation failed: xend_post: error
from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: Boot loader
didn't return any data!")
I've tried formatting /boot as ext2 and ext3 with the same
result, now I'm out of ideas. Here is my virt-install command:
virt-install --paravirt --name honk --ram 2048 --disk \
path=/dev/VolGroup02/LogVol12 --vnc --location \
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/os/
F20 as a paravirt guest should work, but I think nowadays most
people are using fullvirt xen, so maybe paravirt isn't tested as
much with new distros. I'm just guessing though
Thanks, I tried with --hvm instead of --paravirt, but this fails:
ERROR Host does not support virtualization type 'hvm
Regardless, you'll probably have to dig in xen logs to or do some
googling to find more info: I don't have any idea. It's very
unlikely to be a virt-install/libvirt issue though
Ah, there is more in xend-debug.log:

It looks like the centos5 version of pygrub doesn't like this sort
of syntax in the f20 grub.cfg file:
set default="${next_entry}"
