CS 4 Centos 6.3 Install

I have successfully gotten CS4 installed and up and running. I can spawn new VMs, etc. but I am unable to complete an ISO install of Centos 6.3 on a guest machine. This is because the console automatically defaults to a text install of Centos, and not a graphical install. I am running on XS 6.02 hosts with all the latest hotfixes. 

Previously I was able to do graphical installs on CS 3.0.2 on a KVM HV, but am unable to do it now. It is important to have the GUI install, as it is the only way to manually partition drives in the install.

Any thoughts? Bug?

It defaults to the text mode and doesnt even give me the option to do traditional install.

Also,

When I attempt to reboot a VM in Cloudstack, I am getting:

File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 808, in ? - fs = fsimage.open(file, part_offs[0], bootfsoptions) IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported

Hi Francis,

If XS is doing well then it's the same CS console will be streamed to the user.
Is the default install after the timeout of selecting the option in ISO you were using is "text" mode?
Once you create a VM from ISO and VM starts running, quickly open the console view of the VM, it will show you the console as same as of console from the Xen Center.
AFAIK, CS console won't install the OS in text mode

Thanks
Rajesh Battala

Hi Francis,
Please let me know which console automatically defaults to text install of Centos. Is it CS console view are you talking about?
