RE: [fedora-virt] Invalid configuration unexpected EOF when using -x

Try single quotes or use back slashes to escape the ampersands --jim -----Original Message----- From: fedora-virt-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-virt-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Ray Van Dolson Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 11:09 AM To: fedora-virt(a)redhat.com Subject: [fedora-virt] Invalid configuration unexpected EOF when using -x Hi all; Trying to deploy a CentOS 5 domU under RHEL 5.3 64-bit and am running into the following error: virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid configuration unexpected EOF') Domain installation may not have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start cobbler'; otherwise, please restart your installation. Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:59:38 ERROR virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid configuration unexpected EOF') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 560, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 492, in main dom = guest.start_install(conscb, progresscb, wait=(not wait)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 822, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, wait) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 843, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 573, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid configuration unexpected EOF') This only seems to happen when I pass my virt-install command as follows: virt-install --name cobbler --ram 1024 --file=/ludlow2/cobbler.img \ --vnc --vcpus=2 --nonsparse -w bridge:xenbr0 -l \ http://yummie.esri.com/mrepo/centos5-x86_64/os/ \ -x "updates=http://yummie.esri.com/updates/updates-el5.1.img ks=http://yummie/ks/ks.php?arch=x86_64&distro=centos&major=5&minor=2" \ --os-type=linux -d The error appears to be triggered by my kickstart URL location which includes ampersands and such -- despite the fact that I am include quotes around the entire argument. The debug output indicates that the XML is being written with the ampersand changed into &. If I change my kickstart location to a URL without the GET variables, everything works fine. Bug? Expected behavior? Workaround? Perhaps this is an issue in virt-install and wouldn't happen if I crafted the XML file myself? python-virtinst-0.300.2-12.el5 Thanks, Ray _______________________________________________ Fedora-virt mailing list Fedora-virt(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt
