Hi,
For our project I tried installing snv_115 on a domU. The system I
installed the domU was a 4150 with 32GB of memory.
The install took over 5hrs.Is there a way to make the install faster?
Should only take 20 minutes or so.
How is your dom0 configured?
How many CPUs in the system?
Are you using zfs?
If so, are you limiting the ARC cache
Are you using a dom0_mem in menu.lst>
Did you limit ballooning in dom0?
Are you restricting the number of CPUs dom0 uses?
Why aren't you using virt install?
Why aren't you using tap vs file?
This is problem # 1... Your using file instead of
tap, and it's probably on a zfs based system.
lofi runs *really* slow on top of zfs.

Here is what I had defined in my xml :
<domain type='xen' id='-1'>
<name>snv115_nfs_12gb</name>
<uuid>e3c1a3c2-0bda-65ab-3c7e-8c6acf180dd0</uuid>
<bootloader>/usr/lib/xen/bin/pygrub</bootloader>

<memory>12582912</memory>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>

<on_crash>restart</on_crash>
<distro name='solaris'/>
<clock offset='localtime'/>
