Because of the problem I am having I think I must be missing something basic, but it eludes me.
I'm attempting to install hvm guests on SXDE (v79) Windows XP and OpenBSD went on easily, but when I try FreeBSD, Fedora or Debian I get the same problem. Using virt-install the installation creates the disk file, creates the domain, asks for the vnc password and pops up the vnc window. This displays Plex86/Bochs BIOS header, detects ata0 and ata1 and then hangs with no further action (apart from 100% cpu usage as indicated by xm top) The command I'm using is virt-install -n OpenBSD --hvm -r 768 -s 10 --vnc -f /export/disks/OpenBSD.img -m 52:54:00:12:72:AB -l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 --noacpi -d obviously with the name and disk image name being changed between OSes. It asks for the virtual CD, which I give as /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 and for XP and OpenBSD away it goes happily. My thoughts are along the lines that the installers are trying to do some clever GUI stuff (OpenBSD is blessedly CLI based) but thoughts/comments greatly appreciated.
