Filing a bug (with what you specifically tried) seems like a good idea. > #2. A 4GB machine loses 700MB to the hypervisor!?!!? huh? On what do you base this?

Too vague to be useful I'm afraid. I've done many Linux virt-install's on Solaris dom0 without problems (and some with - it very much depends on exactly what you're doing, and whether you're doing it right). Are you asking for an example Linux install in virt-install(1m) ? That'd be reasonable; please file an RFE. Or are you complaining about the poor error reporting of virt-install? If so, you're quite right - we're working to improve this. > #4. virt-install and HVM just hangs for openSUSE 10.2.... once again, nice.

You're not "supposed" to use the .py file approach which is why it's not documented. virt-install is the documented way to create domUs. If you have specific issues with the relevant man pages, please file bugs. > I understand I am opening the door for negative comments (i.e flames) There's no problem with negative comments, but we need a bit more detail to be able to help. regards, john _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
