Thanks a lot installation is proceeding fine. I was initially creating a garbage file with mkfile (e.g. mkfile 15000m /export/home/images/solaris.img) and then using it in virt-install. I thought I'll just give it a shot without creating the file so I deleted it and fired the command once again and it worked. Just checked your reply which says the same so I guess I'm all set.
In any case is there any special reason why virt-install should fail on disks during fdisk creation? I tried a lot of things like removing all partitions using format and then using the disk, again using fdisk and then using the s2 disk partition with virt-install but that didn't work either. Also the ones mentioned in the links pointed out by you like writing zeros to the leading disk blocks. Some time ago I faced some issues with a network install in virt-install. I will come back with some doubts on that soon. Regards, Bhaskar. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
