Hi,

I'm running snv84 on a SunFire x2200M2, 2 dualcore opterons, 8GB ram, 2 mirror 
sata disks (zfs).
I tried to install both Ubuntu 7.1 Desktop and Fedora 8 into a HVM domU but 
failed everytime.
The VNC-Server for the domU dies, but the domain still consumes CPU time, disks 
go idle after a while (zpool iostat or iostat show zero I/O). The domUs booted 
up fine, the installer started, partitioned and formated the virtual disks 
(zvols) and started copying the stuff over. Write access to the virtual disks 
seemed veeery slow (less than 1MB/s, the domU was in blocked state huge amounts 
of time). The hosts syslog didn't have anything abnormal.

Here's what I tried and the output:

markgraf.bti1 ~ # virt-install --hvm --name=hvmlx --ram=1024 
--file=/dev/zvol/dsk/data/zones/hvmlx --vnc \  
--cdrom=/data/77/ubuntu-7.10-desktop.iso


Starting install...
Creating domain...                                                 0 B 00:01

The same happens when trying to install Fedora.

xm top also fails:
markgraf.bti1 ~ # xm top
Failed to retrieve statistics from libxenstat

any hints on how to get this going? Did I miss something or tried something 
really stupid? ;-)

Cheers,
  Bernd
