So, if I want to install a new machine of identical hardware, I simply copy an existing profile, and modify the hostname and IP address. Why will this approach not work?
Also, I am using DHCP to boot the machines, but the XML file has a static IP address (which is the same as the IP address given to the machine from DHCP).
Why don't you have your xml file specify the machine to use dhcp to pick up the hostname? Guess you have your reason for that but since you use dhcp anyway during the boot process ... This is quite unknown territory for me but since the install goes through 25% this might be the point at which it needs the hostname. 2) Do you use the vnc option? Maybe your machine has problems trying to set up vnc?
