Description of problem: Using virt-install (xenguest-install), all proceeds normally until anaconda attempts to retrieve minstg2.img from HTTP install source. Web server logs on Domain-0 (Acting as DHCP and HTTP server) show kernel and initrd being retrieved. DHCP is seen issuing IP and receiving ACK from guest. No further logs are generated and anaconda reports: "Unable to retrieve http://10.1.1.51/install/images/minstg2.img" A wget on any other host retrieves the image as expected.
