Hi,

I am trying to install CentOS on an Opensolaris Dom0. virt-install fails
 with an error in virDomainCreateLinux().

Is this a known issue? Am I missing some step?

ma...@mowgli:~$ uname -a
SunOS mowgli 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86xpv Solaris

ma...@mowgli:~$ pfexec virt-install
What is the name of your virtual machine? centos
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 512
 What would you like to use as the disk (file path)? /xen/centos/root.disk
 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
 What is the install location? /media/CentOS_5.3_Final/


Starting install...

0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.')
Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start centos'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
