CentOS fails to install as Xen domU

[devzero]

Domain0 is a Jessie with 4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64.

domU installation works great if domU is also a Jessie:

Code: Select all

# virt-install --connect xen:/// --paravirt --name d81 --vcpus 2 --memory 512 --disk /dev/VG0/d81 --graphics none --os-variant generic --location http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/

But as I try to install a CentOS7 domU with the same command:

Code: Select all

# virt-install --connect xen:/// --paravirt --name c71 --vcpus 2 --memory 512 --disk /dev/VG0/c71 --graphics none --os-variant generic --location http://mirror.i3d.net/pub/centos/7/os/x86_64/

It always stucks before anaconda becomes alive:

Code: Select all

Anyone an idea what's wrong here?

No idea, sorry.
It does seem to be something specific to the Cent7 install method, so you might get better info via their channels - unless someone looking here has run into it too.
Do the Xen docs have any tips or requirements for the two different OS's?
