Description Gerry Reno 2006-12-24 01:16:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried installing a new guest machine in XEN Virtual Machine Manager by NFS
mounting a CDROM drive and then loading the drive with FC6 installation media.
Mount was as follows:
# mount 192.168.2.101:/media/cdrom-hdb /media/nfscdrom-hdb
# mount | grep nfs
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)
192.168.2.101:/media/cdrom-hdb on /media/nfscdrom-hdb type nfs
(rw,addr=192.168.2.101)

ls /media/nfscdrom-hdb

Fedora                repodata                   RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test

isolinux              RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras

In Virtual Machine Manager I gave the installation source as:
/media/nfscdrom-hdb

and at Finish received:
Invalid PV media address
Install location must be an NFS, HTTP, or FTP install source.

Comment 1 Gerry Reno 2006-12-27 03:28:14 UTC
I was finally able to get the NFS install started by using the form:
nfs:192.168.2.101:/media/cdrom-hdb instead of the nfs mount I created.
