Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2007-07-31 16:08:05 UTC 
Is this RHEL5 GA?  If so do you get the same problem with RHEL 5.1 beta
(ie. >= xen-3.0.3-33.el5)?
Comment 2 Thorsten Scherf 2007-07-31 18:57:09 UTC 
when using the 5.1 beta from rhn I got this:

Unable to complete install 'libvirt.libvirtError virDomainCreateLinux() failed
POST-Operation schlug fehl: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (22, 'Invalid
argument')")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 681, in do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 649, in

'

this only happens when installing a rhel4 pv guest. using rhel5 install rpms to
setup a rhel5 pv guest it works without any problems.
Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2007-07-31 20:22:26 UTC 
Please provide the /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log and
/var/log/xen/xend.log and /var/log/domain-builder-ng.log  file from your 5.1
beta attempt.

That error message typically means you tried to boot an unsupported kernel type.
eg 32 bit on 64-bit host, or vica-verca, or a baremetal kernel on a xen PV host.

Comment 8 Thorsten Scherf 2007-07-31 21:04:32 UTC 
looks like the vmlinuz transfered from the install host was corrupt. after
replacing that file it worked.
