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.

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?

Try single quotes or use back slashes to escape the ampersands

Pretty sure we fixed bugs in this area in 5.3: run the command with
--debug and see if the generated output has & in it.
I think in this case it is actually xend that is choking, which I don't
know any workaround for.

Yep, did run with --debug (-d) and the XML output has & in it. I
haven't yet tried the single quote option as a workaround however.
Here is the cmdline generated (per debug output):
<cmdline>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
method=http://yummie.esri.com/mrepo/centos5-x86_64/os/</cmdline>
I think in this case it is actually xend that is choking, which I don't
know any workaround for.
So xend should be able to handle & ? Or, if my <cmdline> had &
instead of & would xend be able to handle that?
I will try -- but curious if xend is supposed to work in either case.
Thanks,
Ray

Argh, sorry, I didn't read your first message clearly.
Here is the cmdline generated (per debug output):
<cmdline>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

instead of & would xend be able to handle that?
The & -> & replacement is necessary for XML, so it's only needed for
talking to libvirt. That '&' should be getting converted back to
plain & when passed off to xen. I think xen is just choking on the plain
'&'.
Try running the virtinst command with LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 and see if there
is a generated sexpr printed (like you get with xm list --long).
