Hi there,
I've been happily installing VMs in CentOS 5.2's Xen implementation using 
virt-manager. However, my latest attempt to use the install wizard in 
virt-manager failed when I got to the networking screen. The 'forward' button 
was unresponsive, and I was unable to proceed. I checked the virt-manager logs, 
and saw this appearing immediately after I tried to proceed:

/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log:

[Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] ERROR (virt-manager:132) 
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 294, in forward
   if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page()) != True):

   vm = self.connection.vmm.lookupByName(name)

   if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainLookupByName() failed', 
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400
None



There was also a lot of this in the main system log (1-2 messages per second):
[Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] DEBUG (connection:580) Couldn't 
fetch domain id 3; it probably went away

So I tried to use virt-install on the shell instead, but got much the same 
error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] swadmin]# virt-install --hvm --name=zurich.gcal.ac.uk 
--ram=2048 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/zurich.gcal.ac.uk.img --vnc --vcpus=2 
--cdrom=/home/swadmin/software/OpenSolaris/sol-nv-b93-x86-dvd.iso 
--network=bridge:xenbr0

Domain installation may not have been
successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

   if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainLookupByName() failed', 
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400

It suggests I try to start the domain anyway, but it hasn't been created:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] swadmin]# virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
error: failed to get domain 'zurich.gcal.ac.uk'


Any ideas would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
