Description Michael Schwartzkopff 2005-09-18 15:30:27 UTC

YaST -> Virtual machine installation (XEN)
Strange: Source does not show any installation source
Pressing finish, the installation crashes without error message. The last line
in the /var/log/YaST2/y2log is: [Interpreter] VM_XEN.yvp:807 Invalid cast of YCP
calue 'nil'! Should be but is not Integer!

Hi, some additional info:

I read the installation procedure for Xen on the OpenSuSE web site. So I did set
up a installtion server in the directory /vm/installsource. If I want to install
a new virtual machine in yast I still have no "Source" in the VM installtions
settings screen of yast. Entering "Source" shows me the disabled CD and the
enabled dir sources. Pressing accept results in the error: "Entered URL is not
valid". The URL of my dir source is:

dir:///vm/installsource/10.0/

Installing software from the source works without problems.

You need network installatin source for installing Xen.
