installation problem on installation of xen guests

[sunils1973]

I have installed xen on centos and created dom0
But there is a problem when installing the host os (fedora)

The installation proceeds as follows

installation media url : nfs:localhost:/home/vertual

installation file location : /home/vm/vm01.img (with 2048 size )

Then comes the Config TCP/IP dialogue box

I have opted manual and given the ip address 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0

Then the message : Waiting for network manager to configure eth0 (eth1 is configured for internet )

Error:

That directory could not be mounted from the server

Then it shows the dialogue box with already filled

NFS servername : location
Fedora directory : /home/vertual/images/install.img

the .img file is an iso of the dvd or cd installation media?
you can't just point it at the iso. I think you actually have to mount it so that all the files on the disc are actually available. So you may have to mount it as a loopback device. I think it's something along the lines of,

mount -o loop -t iso9660 fedora.iso /mnt/point

then export the mount point as an nfs share and then during the installation of the domU select nfs as the source.

also forgot to add to make sure that you can actually access teh nfs share properly before you even try installing the domU. Make sure your nfs is set up correctly so if you come across any issues with the installation, you can eliminate the problem actually beign your nfs and not the installation it self.

The /home/vertual directory contains the fedora dvd iso image as well as the extracted image. I have already tried the method suggested by Calipse (i.e., by mounting the iso image as a loopback device). All have the same result.. It is to be noted that It starts installation and only when the configuration of network takes place, the message shows "That directory could not be mounted from the server".
Also note that without the iso image file also it can work. The /home/vertual directory contains extracted cd image.
The install.img file is the content of the cd and the above two lines are shown by the message.
The first line "location" is not correct - it is localhost.

hmm...if you can access the nfs share using a shell and it still doesn't work during the install, then not sure what to suggest.

Maybe come on irc to #fedora or #centos on irc.freenode.net and bring up your issue there. People are quite helpful there and you'd get an answer sooner there since they're all users/experts with fedora and centos specifically.
