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 eula.txt RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide Fedora repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test fedora.css RPM-GPG-KEY RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide GPL RPM-GPG-KEY-beta stylesheet-images images RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora TRANS.TBL isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras README-Accessibility RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-legacy 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.
