Hi,

I'm using the build-in xen with centOS5.5. The xen version here is 3.1.2-194.26.1.el5.

I have succeeded install Debian Lenny on-line with the address " http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/ "

And my full command to setup Xen is "virt-install -n aaronXEN -r 256 --vcpus=2 --check-cpu --disk path=/dev/mapper/crhGroup-aaronXEN --location http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386 /"

I also want to install a uBuntu OS in my Xen. I've tried the on-line address "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/". But it doesn't work.

It gives the error message below:

[root@CentOS-X ~]# virt-install -n uBuntu -r 256 --vcpus=2 --check-cpu --disk path=/dev/mapper/crhGroup-aaronXEN --location http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/ --force

And how can I fix it?
