Hello. I am very new to xen and just recentley set up Xen on Ubuntu server 12.04. I did a guided partition with LVM and followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen. The installation went find and the server is up and running nicely. Everything went fine until i tried to install my PV guest. I just used the basic guid on the link i posted for manually installing a PV guest. During the creation of the vm the ubuntu installer says my archive link is bad. I am just using the standard united states archive. My settings are as follows:
/etc/network/interfaces:
where the xxx's, in reality, have the proper numbers in them.
/etc/xen/vm01.cfg
and the mac address is found from running ifconfig. And finally we have
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
For a little more description i run:
Ubuntu fails to find my network so i set it up manually. I then input my ip-address, netmask and my broadcast as it apears in my /etc/network/interface file.
It then tells me it is connecting to eth0 and then asks me to select my mirror to download the archive. I then select the united states mirror, it sits at 0% downloaded for a bit before it jumps to 100% and then it tells me bad archive. As a side note i should mention Dom0 is connected to the network just fine and ssh works without a problem. I have actually been trying to do these installs through ssh.
Thanks for your help!!!
