Unable to install RHEL 6.4 paravirtualized guest on RHEL 5.8 XEN Host
Issue
- I'm trying to do the installation of the paravirtualized RHEL 6.4 guest on a RHEL 5.8 hypervisor and it's no working.
- The installation starts ok, but hangs before the install begins.
- In the guest console I saw this messages before it hungs:
