Comment 1 Eric Doutreleau 2009-12-18 11:01:17 UTC

Created attachment 389103 [details]
patch for XEN FV domains provisioning with python-virtinst ver.0.400

The problem is RHEL 5.4 use python-virtinst version 0.400 which have some classes rearranged. I've made a quick patch for koan 1.6.6 which is attached here.
Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2013-12-16 20:44:32 UTC 
koan is a sub-package of cobbler
