OK, I'm now trying the same install on a different FC6 box:

Linux slippy.robinbowes.com 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen #1 SMP Wed May 16
19:19:04 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

i.e. this is i386 not x86_64

I've used this command to start the install:

virt-install  --nographics --name=test --file=/dev/vg_host/lv_test
--ram=512
--location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
--extra-args="ip=192.168.1.110 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1
dns=192.168.1.60
ks=http://dev.robinbowes.com/kickstart/misc/test-FC7.cfg console=xvc0"

I now get this output:

=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen #1
---------------------------------------------------------
loader/206 just changed the state of lock:
 (&np->rx_lock){-...}, at: [<e115da6c>] network_open+0x28/0x83 [xennet]
but this lock was taken by another, hard-irq-safe lock in the past:
 (&np->tx_lock){+...}

... plus a load of further memory information.

Installation seems to continue, but then stops. The last output seems to be:

 eth0: no IPv6 routers present

I don't see anything in the logs.

Any more ideas?
